As Pete says the best way a new writer can actually make money is by a media deal. The last writers strike killed a lot of careers and the golden goose -not sure this is going to have a better outcome. I don't know how we make more money wo some kind of union. How do you have a union wo a few people controlling more than they should? Maybe have a union that anyone can join who pays dues and the dues are reasonable? That would make a union expansive enough to maybe actually choke off the supply of ideas and have an effect. Otherwise who isn't going to seize an opportunty rather than protect those who already have theirs?
