Ha!

I managed to be a working bass player without joining the Union for years and years - but joining the union turned out to be the cheapest way to get public liability insurance for me and my band. Membership I think is £20 a month. The last time I paid for separate public liability insurance for the band it cost somewhere in the region of £2500 for the year. And every big hotel venue in London wants it now...and a lot of other places too. You can't work without it anymore.... so I bit the bullet and joined. Be nice to get something else out of it.
