Bethenny Frankel's a reality icon, thanks to The Real Housewives of New York City, and she's showing all the hustle that the Big Apple's known for, by pushing for a union for reality TV stars.

A lot of reality TV celebrities have complained about receiving very low pay for what they do, and getting no residuals at all. If Bethenny gets her way (and she usually does), there may be new hope for these overlooked entertainers.
