"The union’s study said script supervisors (92% of whom are female) received lower minimum rates than those of first assistant directors and second assistant directors, both of which are fields dominated by men. Script supervisors earned weekly scale rates of $2,573 in 2016, versus $4,465 for first assistant directors and $3,101 for second assistant directors on TV projects, the study said."
