Starting a Pro Wrestler's Union?

You're right, they shouldn't be, but they are. I can't think of what it was, but there was a huge thread about this awhile back. Basically, by calling them independent contractors, Vince can avoid having to give them certain things, and I think there are tax repercussions too...

I think the initial thread was about Scott Levy trying to sue them...
