Any attempt at significant change has to start there. Otherwise, it's just another exercise in belling the cat. |

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire resulted in more humane conditions for North American workers not because people suddenly stopped being willing to risk their lives but because lawmakers decided that employers should not be in the position to tell workers do so. In my crumpled opinion, a spectacularly unfair contract offered under duress is comparable to that sitch financially. Still, there are cases in which terrible deals are preludes to later power. Saying yes to that first compromise is disastrous in some cases, but in others, it brings enough exposure to place artists in positions of power, which allows them to refuse later compromises and move forward with their careers.
