I absolutely do not understand why someone would vote to be collectively represented instead of being able to act as as individual in your own best interest Yo

  >You claim not voting for the union is against your own interest but that assumes that the union will 100% of the time be looking out for your own individual best interest No, and that is a pretty far stretch from what I said. Please re-read "your own collective interest". It's easy to win an argument when you misrepresent what is said. Collective interest implies that it is the greatest good for the majority of people. Not the most good for you every time. Question for you: >I absolutely do not understand why someone would vote to be collectively represented instead of being able to act as as individual in your own best interest Do you really not see how it may be easier to negotiate as a group, rather than as an individual? In high-skill, high-demand jobs, yes, it is probably much easier to negotiate for individual benefits, because you have the power as the worker. But in low-skill, or high-supply jobs, the employers have all the power. I don't understand what you're saying.

    While low skill / high supply jobs can be more challenging in some cases to negotiate, I know many many employers that are having problems finding people even for the most entry level jobs. Further good employees, even in low skill jobs, are very hard to find and even harder to retain. employers want to keep them, unionization often limits their ability to retain these high performing employees because they are not allowed to give bonus, raise or any other incentive beyond what is laid out by collective bargaining. So I really do not see how it is easier to negotiate as a group. my personal experiences matches what have have observed in employment rations through out my career from when I was in a entry level position to now where I am in a higher skilled position
