I don't understand it at all. I'm kind of in the same boat, though I actually kind of lean toward some kind of organizing. Those I know who are members of a national union complain about the union spending most of its money on things unrelated to the employment of its members. But at the same time professional organizations like the AMA and ADA seem to benefit their members (unfortunately sometimes at the expense of the public). I think the questions to ask are what's the bigger picture? What is the framing used in the current discussion to limit our view of that bigger picture? Who is doing the framing? I don't have answers there, but it definitely seems like there's some important hidden variable that is omitted from the framing of either side of this debate.
