  Ah. Thanks for the clarification. All I could piece together in my mind were the medieval guilds of Belgium. But I guess this isn't that far removed.

    Screen actors guild is the most famous current example. While less well known they have made a significant difference in actor safety.

      The Newspaper Guild (TNG, now part of the Communications Workers of America) represents a lot of journalists. But indeed most of us have heard the names of far more members of SAG-AFTRA than of TNG.
