I'm not sure why contractors or freelancers need a real "union". It kind of runs counter to the whole point of being an independent worker. Part of being a freelancer or contractor is that you already have all the power and you get to set the terms. If you don't like it, you walk away and go somewhere else.

Things like the Freelancer's Union are really about getting group benefits.

Really? Organize for what? In today's market, people who can write good code are getting poached left and right. It's one of the easiest, if not THE easiest, market to move around in. Don't like your current gig? Quit and go somewhere else.

The demand far outstrips the supply. You already have the upper hand on pretty much every employer.
