Let me see if I've got this straight. You're saying that I go to the mall
folks and tell them I'll play for free and then when a union rep shows up I
tell him/her to respectfully go to the mall people (or better venues) and
tell them the union can get them the same band (that's willing to play for
free) at cost to them? But it's the union's fault? 

Please do explain.
