Wouldn't it be better if A, B, C, and you joined together and hired some professional lawyers and negotiators to work on your behalf (ie organized labor, union)

  That sounds expensive.

    In practice, it also leads to the lawyer and union representatives having 10x-50x the pay of the people they "work for". Study Swedish unions to see how it works.

      That's not a priori wrong. Different roles command different salaries.

  From the employer side, if one or the other is a more valuable employee, I need to be able to compensate them more so that I can ensure they stay with our team and don't go to a competitor. From the employee side, if I go out and learn new skills and abilities, I want to be able to negotiate compensation that reflects the value I bring. Particularly in creative fields like tech / IT, unionization fails both of those needs, and promotes stagnation over innovation. So, no.

    Having professionals negotiate for the team doesn't necessarily mean the pay will be equal among the team. Actors, who also work in a creative field and also have vast differences in talent, use many kinds of intermediaries.
