Don't know if it's been brought up before or not, but just heard a commercial on the radio. Dungy is pimpin' Rockstar for 7/11. Not a big Dungy fan, but I about shit when I heard the commercial start off with "This is Ryan Dungy of the Rockstar Makita Suzuki".

Good for him! I hope he's getting union wages & working conditions for the commercial.

That's pretty cool. I haven't heard the commercial yet, but will keep my ears open. What station, Trip?

Union working conditions? After seeing what these guys look like after coming off the track after each moto, even the most dingy sound booth would be a step up. Wink

Don't know how long its been running because I usually listen to Sirius. So last night we were unloading from camping and just had the garage radio on. Sorry Gibby, it was on 96.7, you don't get that in the OC. Daughter said she heard it on 103.9 too. Next time your in the 951/909 check it out.

Dungey is one of the best kids I have ever met, He earns everything he gets, I have never seen anyone work as hard as this kid.

Good for the fact that its a moto rider and team. How many know of him and the team.....

At least his name/team are on the radio. A plus no matter what to the MX community.

Why would he want any part of a union?

That is part of their family upbringing.

All the Dungey kids are very respectful, hard working and can ride a motorcycle darn fast.

Those parents deserve a lot of credit, and the kids do a great job with the the tools they've been given.

If it's a non-union spot he'd, most likely, get a one-time fee for doing the spot(s) - sometimes for a certain amount of time; sometimes forever. If they decide to run it forever after saying they wouldn't he's SOL.

If it's SAG or AFTRA he'd get a union wage for a 2-hour session and residual payments depending on how it runs. That makes it much more "Dungey and 7/11"; more of a partnership. They run it and he gets paid. They don't run it and he doesn't get paid.

Also, a portion of the earnings would go into a pension and health fund for his retirement and health benefits. There's much more to it, but I'll stop there.

Myself, as a performer, I only work on union projects.
