Extra on a union commercial — $182/8hrs via Taft-Hartley

Got booked as an extra on a SAG-AFTRA commercial shoot. I'm non-union but they Taft-Hartley'd me for the day. Rate was the SAG minimum — $182 for 8 hours. Overtime kicked in after 8 hours and I ended up working 11, so the total was about $280. Meals were incredible (actual catering), the holding area was a real green room with AC, and everyone was professional. Night and day compared to non-union work. Made me seriously consider joining the union.
