Abstract: Live streaming, a recently emerged service in the sharing economy era, is already very popular in China and is growing in the US market. Besides streamers (those who make the content) and the platform itself, unions of streamers are important stakeholders in live streaming platforms because they act as the streamers' agents. Because the union's salary mechanism will significantly influence the behavior of streamers, in this paper, we investigate the interaction between the streamers and unions from the perspective of salary mechanism.
