IS IT TIME ??

On a smaller scale, perhaps a poker players union is a viable option?

No - with whom would they negotiate? We already know the players never get listened to. Mainly because they put their case so badly, to be fair. So many of them think the way to win an argument is to shout & holler & get angry, a method which would never win an argument in a month of Sundays.

With whomever it is said governing body would be negotiating with.

An organized player's union could put a case forward with one, considered, calm voice. It would carry much more weight than individual complaints and in the abscence of a governing body, seems, to me, better than nothing.

I would use the same point you just made to argue in favour of having an organized players union. On the back of which a more permanent governing body may eventually form.
