Why did the artisans unite in the workshop and accept the workshop conditions?

The workshop protected its members from competition and over time turned into a powerful structure that helped with the sale of products and provided its members with all kinds of assistance. It was a kind of professional union at the time. It is clear that surviving and successfully doing a craft is much easier in structure. The workshop conditions were necessary for the existence of the workshop. The craftsmen paid a fee. An organization existed for this money. Demands to have a workshop and provide a masterpiece weeded out the weak professionals and the poor who could not afford a workshop. But they also had a chance. They could work as apprentices for money from a master in his workshop, save money, study and open their own workshop.
