The majority of filming that happens in Colorado and New Mexico is done by crews that belong to IATSE Union locals. Acted in by SAG-AFTRA members and written and directed by DGA and WGA members. You don’t know what you are talking about. Productions go to these states because they offer tax incentives not because they offer non-union labor.

I'm happy to concede the detail here--my mistake. I was misinformed about union movie labor in New Mexico and Colorado. I have revised my worldview.

Nonetheless, firms move away from union labor where they can, to the point of relocating operations to do so. There is copious evidence of this.
