Porn actors need a union
Seeing how they are all out of work with the AIDS quarantine.

Ya gotta make up your wages, somehow.

1. Hmmm, cute idea but I don't think it'd work.

How is a union going to make them money. They can save thier union fees. The point of a union would be to negotiate better working conditions like a condom only shoots like we have here in Europe.

A lot of the actors are around few months and then you never see them again. It's not like thier organised and want to have meetings and vote and stuff.

The porn companies are probably hurting just as much as the actors from the shut down. So they may decide to get smart and push for better testing, condoms, or something else. I read some salon interview with a porn company guy that was doing "gozo porn" that will switch to all condom.
