In Los Angeles, one used to be able to travel to many of these kind of affairs. However, in the last 10 to 20 years, the traffic has made it almost impossible to accept such employment unless you live nearby. To travel from the South Bay to North Hollywood for a musical performance with a call time of 7:30 would require one to leave home before 5:30, making the total time needed at least 7 hours away from home! The union does not find it practical to monitor the multitude of non-union gigs as they do not have the resources to do so.
