I've negotiated salaries that are 2 or 3 times what my peers have made in the same position. I've also negotiated in non-standard vacation packages, like a fixed 2 months off every year. That simply doesn't happen in collective bargaining. I've hardly ever been a throwaway widget in any job and even when I was working shitty jobs I was the type to get promoted quickly. The only places this never happened were my 3 union jobs. And in each case I was forced to work for the union -- I wasn't seeking it.

yeah, collective bargaining never does any good /s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_bargaining https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_bargaining Last week tonight on union busting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk8dUXRpoy8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk8dUXRpoy8 When a union does not work or is corrupt, we fix the union, we don't give away the collective power to the opposing side of the negotiation: oh no, my lawyer is not doing my best interest he's only trying to rake up the fees! you know what? I'll let my opponent's lawyer represent me in court instead!
