LOCAL LOLLY-POP GUILD #4'2""
The great munchkin strike of 1936 united midgets everywhere. There was a sudden stop to midget wrestling, throwing, porn, and even acting! This opened the door for Dwarfs who had previously been over looked to get a foot in the business, even play some starring roles with Snow White for Disney in 1937. After the end of the strike in 1938 the world celebrated their return with The Wizard of Oz in 1939.
Many people don't remember the strike because it was such a short up-rising.

While the notion of the union was not portrayed during the televised version, the theatrical version employed card carrying union workers. Now had they been unionized in the original version, there might have been a few changes to the story, specifically the yellow brick road. If memory serve correctly, it was laid out with an origination of a spiral. This is probably not something which would have been condoned by the bricklayers union. I would venture to guess that artistic demands of the producers would not have been agreed to and a simple "start" point of the yellow brick road would have been constructed, shaped in a more accepted terminating cul-de-sac or circular shape as it were. Had the union really been tough, the yellow brick road might not have been completed and the visuals of Dorthy et al may have been edited to show them from the knees up from a level or an "up-shot" so as not to get any of that construction gravel and marker stakes in the scene. Why do you ask?

You mean ...ARE The Munchkins unionized? ...Not just fully unionized and sanctioned by the Board of Ozian Affairs but ALSO officially accepted as a Sovereign Nation of Endangered Psudo-Child Adults?
No. We hunt them for food. They are the other, OTHER white meat.

they were in the screen actors guild which is like a union. They really had the producer by the short ones if pressure was applied they could have made allot more money. The movie came out in 1939 and if it hadn't been for a little movie called "Gone with the WInd" it would have swept at the academy...

No they weren't. Many years later the surviving ones took the studio to court to try to get the pay that was owed to them.
