The entire pay schedule for actors who aren't household names is beyond fucked. For example, every actor who gets an appointment for an audition is supposed to be paid one-half day's wage for making the appointment and showing up. This has been a rule on the SAG books since the Depression.
According to some of the smaller actors, no one has enforced this rule since the 70s. I might hate most film whores, but work demands wages.
Edit to add: look up how Clancy Brown was treated on Highlander. He earns more showing up for one convention than he did for acting as the antagonist in a movie.

The thing is people will do it for free. Yeah it is hard to make a living doing what other people will do for free. Artists have the same issue.
