What we charge?

Then the Guild would be trapped into the political lobbying agenda
and dues would soar to bolster the graft of the union leaders.

A union would prevent a tuner from working in another 'local' without
its expressed permission and extra dues paid to that local.

No thanks. If that happened I think you'd see a mass exodus.

Be small, think big.
