how about a section where people can post rates they've been paid. I propose that all all the posts should appear as anonymous (I'd imagine skate companies probably won't be keen on this section), and state what the shot was used for e.g shoe company/shop/board company whether it was local/national/international/web only and the amount paid.
maybe it could all be displayed in some sort of table or something?
This would help people get get paid proper amounts and also avoid undercutting etc.

Also how about a 'shit list': Name and shame companies who NEVER paid you for your photo, despite invoicing etc. This would encourage other photogs not to go near them in future. Strength in numbers!

I back this idea but think it should be totally private so only members can see it.

Im working on this already. Not on here though. ON agro 2.0

lets see a sneak peak of this agro 2.0!
