something I've never ever understood is why all the different unions are split up like this. Whenever strike talks come up it's "IATSE vs AMPTP" or "WGA vs AMPTP", etc. rather than a collective union of unions.

The producers figured it out and are united, why haven't the different unions done the same? I'm especially leary at this sort of thing after IATSE president Matt Loeb took a bum deal and threw everyone under the bus.

Unions are in essence the descendants of the old guild system. Guilds were trade organizations for specific craft and unions inherited this way of working.

aside from "this is the way they've always done it", I still don't understand why no change. Just one look at that greedy pie chart should be enough to see that the old system only serves one side.

It needs more time. Unions in the USA were busted before they reached this stage. Where I live, unions joined up until only the liberal, socialist and christian unions remained, what also corresponded to the multi party government system.

That may have something to do with it. IANAL, but I would imagine that they have to get approval to merge unions since they passed that law specifically to union bust
