If they fear being left alone against amazon, why don't authors use their union to start directly collectively bargaining, or even starting business activities

If they fear being left alone against amazon, why don't authors use their union to start directly collectively bargaining, or even starting business activities together ? In a world where a book store is just an app, there are a lot of opportunities open to authors, and they really hold the power in the book market, at least with regards to ebooks.
- Anderkent 12y agoBecause they don't want to be publishers, they want to be writers. As said in the article.
- hershel 12y agoThey don't have to be publishers. They just vote once in a while, pay their dues , and the union does the rest.
- icebraining 12y agoUnion might not be the best example. Maybe a "writers' cooperative".
