> Why wouldn't you want to be part of a union?

There’s no upside for me, and severe downsides.

My reasoning, in particular:

1) My skills are unique and in high demand. I can best maximize my own compensation through direct negotiation.

2) Compensation is effectively zero-sum, and I don’t want to subsidize low performers.

3) I don’t want to subsidize a parallel, mostly useless (and probably entirely useless) shadow management hierarchy in the form of union officials.
