I am not sure whether TASO or UIL is the best way to go. Insurance might be better with TASO, but pay is still whatever UIL decides to give umpires and TASO while they might lobby for pay increase, really does not get officials any more money and TASO has had their own organization messed up for several decades.
I'm not a union guy, but I can guarantee that if you do not have an organization to represent the group as a whole, how will umpires ever have anything to say about what happens on the field? But that's up to you.

You do understand what an emoticon is and the purpose of it's use, right?
