So the reason why there are unions that most voice actors join is to reduce the competitiveness (which otherwise brings the price down below subsistence levels) and makes sure voice-actors can make a bare minimum wage. They negotiated that $250 /hr (or more) as they understood the opportunity costs associated with voice acting. They don't want voice acting to be only viable as a part-time position. They have a say and should have a say in remuneration.

The post I responded to which you responded to my response of, associated remuneration and value solely with what the employers think it is. But that isn't how things are in most developed countries and it certainly isn't how most people think it should be.

The logical conclusion of associating remuneration with solely the employer's idea of value is the Gilded Age. That is what we had when that was the sole consideration.

Every person who loves doing something would like to do it as a full time job. Its just not viable in many cases. Would be great if we all could just do what we love for a living. Thats just not how it is. We can dream, but thats about it.

Which is irrelevant to the original point. Again, the point isn't about if it is a full-time job or not, but whether or not it is fair compensation. Fair compensation isn't determined solely by the employer, according to most people's standards in developed societies since about the mid-19th century when working class people reacted to the excesses of Capitalism. 

To suggest what is "fair' is what the employer says is fair is a far-right wing view held mostly by right-wing "libertarians" and radical market liberals/neo-liberals. Attempting to normalize that position is harmful to working people.
