-----I love to weasel money from my company’s death grip (even if it not me who gets it)-----

Mike, I can't answer your question directly, but as I was a self employed person during my working years, I don't hold kindly to the idea of your wanting to extract money from a company whose has and is providing you with a living.

Now if you were to be able to weasel money from the company union, than I would be all for that.
