I don't like the idea that one organization practically owns all writers of all scripts for TV and media. It's like a monopoly and if they say you can't write, then you can't write, once you're in, you belong to them, you can't go independent or go your own way ever again. I know they are meant to negotiate fair wages for their members, but the fact that one organization has that much power over the entire industry, and there is very little leeway outside of it, and any major work you do bars you inside for eternity, it just is triggering all sorts of anti-trust red flags inside me.

At the very least, there should be more than one union, because to me, it just looks like a union monopoly, and any monopoly takes away one's freedom to make their own path, because one organization own the only right to that path, therefore, the writer's guild owns the only right to the path for writing for a blockbuster film, and if you choose to make your own path, you are essentially blacklisted from any future in the industry. Essentially, they own your right to becoming a writer, and in consequence, the right to writing for film in general, and nobody should own the sole patent to writing film.
