I don't think it's worthwhile.. the union governs over 42 000 employees, they will hardly take my own preferences into account.

  They'll take them into account more than if you're not a member.

    That's... not necessarily true? A large union represents more people than the number of benefit configurations it can offer. So some number of people won't get access to the arrangement they want - if what you want is particularly uncommon, joining the union won't necessarily produce any change at all in your direction. This feels a little like "you can't complain about the government because you got to help elect it". It's still possible to give your input to a system and get no progress at all.
