For instance, AFTRA takes a piece of the paycheck, in addition to
regular Union dues, labelled: Health and Retirement Remittance. You pay
into the Health and Retirement Funds Program.

SAG has similar programs.

The more you work, the more your pension.

The Director's Guild also has a retirement program paid into by
working members.

Those are not 'company' programs. They're directly administered by
the Union for workers in good standing. They do not apply to members who
have declared 'financial core.'

And they're in addition to any programs by the company, and/or SS.

In an era where Union organization has taken some significant
membership hits, such programs are inducements to stay with the Union
rather than crossing to financial core.

But such programs are not merely late developments. Unions have had
pension plans for decades. Not all, certainly, but significant numbers
of them. Enough that your declarations to the contrary are laughable.

Someone working for/with the larger companies, especially in a state
like California, would know all this.

That you don't further exposes the weakness of your claims.
