 Do the MM's need a union? 

 No, not really. The marchers are not paid employees of the Corps, as are employees of a company, or a governmental agency.  They're youth.  Student amateurs. Not adults in a paid job position. As students, the MM's (  and/ or perhaps their Parents ) pay for the MM's to be taught skills. Since there is the natural unequal balance between Youth and Adults, Society ( and the Law ) puts more responsibility in the hands of the Adults to protect the Youth in its charge. No " union " would sever that responsibility that adults naturally have to the youth in their charge. " Unions " are essentially collective bargaining instruments between competing adults for the divisions and the fruits of the Labor.

I know it was a parallel. MMs have no collective oversight beyond the Corps. No MM focus groups working on common issues and solutions. Yawn it's all been discussed the Corps need employment oversight.
