Can I make an obvious point? There is a problem with that. The big film producers might be a year or 18 months between big productions. When people are laid off at the end of a film production and the same production company makes a new film with a new DAC, the old DAC has expired. If someone does not get employed 18 months later, it is too late to take a case. The DAC under which that person was employed no longer exists and there is no recourse.
