The past few years have been extremely rough on contributors in the stock industry. It's time some changes were made that were beneficial to us rather than than continuing to destroy our livelihoods. The only way to do this is if we band together and create a coalition or "union" if you will. I hope this can be the first step in that direction. As of right now the purpose of this form is to simply get an idea of how many people we can get onboard with this idea. If we can get a substantial amount then it we can go to these agencies letting them know that we represent X number of contributors and begin negotiations. If you find yourself wanting to help make changes in the industry please sign up. If we get enough traction then we can start determining what our next steps will be. Best of luck.
