    Default Cam Girls Union. We need one! Help make it happen! Name it!

    So, I am willing to do some Union Organizing...

    But if we have a camgirl's union, what would it be called?

    What would the first order of business be?

    What would minimum wage be?

    C'mon...it MAY never happen...but if it did...what wuld you want your union to do for you?

    Ok...A LOT of the stuff named is at least somewhat feasible....

    One thing that keeps us within certain bounds however is the incredibly convenient nature (in most respects) of maintaining independent contractor status. So, that leaves us out of certain things like paid sick days and such because those are for employees...we choose to work or not on a schedule we make up...right? One of the best parts of the job, right?..I mean you can;t take a "sick day" when you decide what days you work...same with maternity leave...workmans's comp, paid vacations and such...we do not HAVE to work, therefor no "days' off"...

    What is definitely pretty easy is to begin with a 50% rule. Pay us 50%+ or we don't work. Also, changes to the contractual status of our content and copyright...VERY possible....

    Minimum payouts, proof of income, and not so much dowline (this isn't MLM its a union!) but some guarantee for customers we bring in...

    Oh, and health insurance would be very very easy...NOT from the camsites, but at a really great discount due to "Collective Bargaining" powers of a union...we'd have to have a BUNCH of members to qualify...which brings me to the next discussion...

    So, one thing about a Union is that it is served best by being BIG and everyone truly sticking together...

    Example...we get 500 women, and we all "Boycott Streamate for Better Pay"...and we don;t even make news...and streamate ignores us...

    However if we took 6 months or a year and got 68% of ALL camgirls on all sites that speak decent English, plus many other overseas girls as well, and then we Boycott stream, A> it would be newsworthy and would make a HUGE splash, and B> When stream saw their online girls drop by 68% and MANY of them being the big money girls, and it stayed that way for a week, with all their expenses mounting, they would cave.

    So...how the heck do we get to the point where we get enough power and girls and publicity to make something happen....

    Ideas?

    I don't know, B. It sounds nice. I don't want to leave your thread hanging, it's a good thought

    Don't mean to drag ass or anything, but said dragging ass is WAY too large for MFC and way too uncomfortable with the thought of a public show- and I don't make as much on AW as I do on Stream.


    I still have to make goal every day, so until I find something to supplement my income, I would be unwilling to leave Stream.

    Not that it would take me long, since I'm industrious! But not all are as industrious to me- some bitches can't even be bothered to make a twitter, let alone consider boycotting a website that probably earns 50% of their income

    Many of those top hosts on Streamate have moved there from Ifriends and a few other sites where traffic had died. Honestly when you are making 50 to 100 dollars or more an hour, and making that consistently and see NO viable alternatives for reliable traffic it would be stupid to consider anything like that.

    Now, if there was an alternative nobody would need to boycott. Hosts would naturally move to the better site.

    Hell, I would have loved to stick with just Ifriends but a quick look on their host message boards and seeing how many top hosts have left the site for streamate, you see how they have let the site go. I used to be slammed with traffic there but now I could be on all day and not get a single guest or viewer.

    Paying traffic is the key.
