Yes that's the entire fucking point of collective action.

Judging by aggressiveness of your comment, it seems that you think that I have something against it. You may have thought so because I used the term "cartel", which has a negative connotation, so I don't blame you for getting angry.

However, I'm not against it, ambivalent about it. What's more important to me is hypocricy of people who oppose the thing in one context and then support it in another, whereas it's exactly the same thing.

Why am I ambivalent about it? Well, it's a screenwriter who earn $120k and barely survive in LA against midwestern school teacher who earns $50k and whose pension fund invested in another fund who invested in a Disney. I don't think either side is morally superior to another.
