I think it could work for in-house designers, but freelancers would see no joy from it.
I don't really think that a standard rate of pay would work in this industry, even if you put a bottom limit on certain kinds of work it just wouldn't be flexible enough. In this ever changing economy you might need to adjust payrates for certain clients just so that you can work on their projects, would dipping below the standard pay scale be cause to dis-unionize you?
There is no seniority for designers so there is another thing that a union wouldn't be able to help with.
It could help with in-house designers, but it would destroy the mobility and flexibility for freelancers fur sure.
