LOL... Only FREELANCE WRITERS would consider a union... A union is the antithesis of freelance, but many writers lean socialist (read &quot;left&quot;) so, giving up your independence for social risk sharing is okay, write?<p>Well, that is until the union you belong to decides that your content goes against the best interests of it and&#x2F;or it&#x27;s membership (the former being real, the latter being rhetoric).<p>Unions are not the answer. Ideally, unions allow the voice of one (or a few) to represent the desires of the many. Historically, however, as with the United Auto Workers, unions have become a way for lobbying efforts in the interest of the few to be paid for by the many, under the guise of fair representation.<p>Good luck with your union. I doubt we&#x27;ll read later about how it was a bad idea, because nobody will write about <i>that</i>.
