Hollywood unions are one of the main reasons most movies are not made in LA any more.

Sure, and tax havens are the most popular place to have the top of your corporation's ownership hierarchy. Doesn't mean it's good for society at large or the people working there.

And speaking of tax havens, it's also likely why a lot of movies are now made in cities like Vancouver is because those places decided to give favorable tax incentives for films to be shot there. So it's not really because of unions.
