Unions represent workers. If you form an a artist Union you would be representing your artist against owners of record labels, which you are. What side of the fence are you on? Are you gonna help your artist strike against you if they feel they aren't getting treated properly?

This idea has been proposed multiple times in this very forum. Typically, the purpose of a union is to negotiate with the employer (for wages and benefits) on behalf of the employee. In your example, with whom would the union negotiate? The labels or the distributors?

Just read this, this is what I was getting at. The union is the middle man between the worker and employer. If the employer is the label, you're basically talking about a manager/agent. A union is just a manager/agent for multiple employees.
