Unions can be a hot button issue for some, but it’s not something we often connect with creators. Guest-host Charli Prangli joins Nathan to explore the idea of creator unions, what they would look like, how they might function, and the benefits and drawbacks of them.
Main Takeaways
- It can be easy for major brands to take advantage of the independent creators they work with. Creator unions would work to fix this power imbalance.
- While a union could elevate the entire industry, it could also end up restricting access to certain members, and what kind of work they could do.
- A union could offer shared resources, advice, and support for living and thriving as a creator.
- Creators who work with brands for free, outside of a union, may be devaluing the industry because brands will look for those who work for nothing.
