Title: Istock contributors independent union
Post by: andersontomas40 on September 10, 2010, 02:12

Hi Guys
I am new here.I had bad night when new royalties structure announced.  I got a great idea.  Why not to establish Istock contributor’s independent union can take united move against such crap. I think if the union has a contributors have 5 million photos including top contributors. They will think twice before take such action. what do you think guys?

I think it's a waste of time.

OK form a Union, I'll be the leader and you will have to support any decisions I make which may effect you financially, whether or not you agree to them.

There you go, that's why a union would never work, we are all independent and as such we will each make our own decisions on how we run our business.

What iStock has done is very bad news but mass hysteria calling for forming a union is just a waste of breath.

Lots of people have made suggestions on how to react to iStocks commission drop, as an independent you have the luxury of being able to act on one or all of the suggestions.
