Can we all form a union already? Get paid overtime. Get good health benefits. Get sweet satin jackets. Get iron eagle Local 151 hard hat stickers for our Macs. And get paid for pitches - cause no agency else has the guts to stop giving away hundreds of thousand of dollars of free work. Imagine four plumbers coming to your business, doing the whole job for free. Each of them. One by one. And not paying them. Your business would be burnt to the ground and you’d end up in a ditch.

I’ve actually been in a labor Union. Unmotivated people doing the very least they can do knowing it’s nearly impossible to fire them. No thanks.

Yeah would be nice to get paid more. But to be fair, most professions do “free” work from time to time.
From the sales person who spent hours working on a sale and didn’t get the commission to the teachers who put in all the unpaid overtime to the real estate brokers who show places but don’t get paid to the waiters who get stiffed on tips etc etc.

Those people should have unions as well. Unpaid labor is unethical and gross even if it is wide spread.

Plumbers don’t have Audi cars nor send their kids to private school. And if I’ve learned anything about agency leadership BOY do they love driving expensive cars and sending their kids to private school. I’m with you, but a long shot.

My husband does HVAC and is unionized. His work/life balance is way better and he gets paid more than me. There are some definite perks to white collar but not all around

Almost everyone has pitched this idea and no one has taken the first step. If you’re serious, you need to organize and get people involved.

For what’s its worth: we *do not* give away work for free for pitches. Pitches are a hustle, always short turnaround, but it’s disrespectful to the work we do (and to workers!) to give it away for free. I know a few creative agencies that have similar philosophies (a few, not many).
