I like to think of unions a little bit like getting a vaccination. You may not need it now, or ever, and when it actually works for you, you may not be aware of it. It's a low cost way of protecting yourself from injury and loss. And, there's a bunch of people out there that are really really convinced they are terrible for you.

I don't want some system that I'm paying for with my union dues helping them maintain a job that they don't deserve. On the other hand, I've never seen a deserving and talented software engineer out of a job for very long. And if you're talented you will get paid much much more than average. The only software engineers that want or need a union are the ones that need artificial barriers to keep them employed.
