Maybe we need new leadership or something.
I'll tell you why musicians get pushed around. It's a lack of self respect. You don't need a union to stick up for yourself. Just don't accept poor treatment and politely let people know when they are out of line. They'll either treat you better or not hire you any more. Either way your problem is solved.
