A 29 year old Sound Engg has suffered a brain haemorrhage and died. Whom do we hold responsible?

The film industry contorts labour laws and practices into weird demons that hurt everyone but the moneyed people.

The Unions on their part have just converted effort, fatigue & human limits in to a conveniently tangible rate/hour. In my experience in fact, most workers in the industry seem to be completely okay with round the clock work as long as they& #39;re paid "as per market/union rates" 2/6

There& #39;s no realistic 3rd or 4th callsheet pay that& #39;ll help you deal with sleep deprivation, & the stresses it causes on the human system
Of course, I can& #39;t say much abt senior technicians or people in heads-of-dept positions, because they have the power to negotiate their pay 3/6

But for the lower rung of technicians involved: the easily anonymised, easily replaceable light, sound, boom, camera operators, production, catering assistants; the system ignores the well being of individuals since the union will provide replacements. How is this humane? 4/6

Regulation is hated, and understandably so. But if the industry will not put in place mandatory 10/12 hour turnaround times, sustainable scheduling, it will have to be forced on. Well rested people work better- not that workers& #39; rights should be dependent on productivity. 5/6

If workers are anxious abt missed wages frm not working overtime thn regular wages should be raised to maintain parity. The superstars can take a pay cut. An increase of ₹1000 per head worker, does nary a dent in the prized 8 figure kittys of stars, specifically the male stars.6
