> I love how I’m supposed to think a middle man acting on my behalf will somehow be better than me acting on my own behalf. Because you do not think that when employees get together as a single negotiating entity they have more negotiating power? I mean, I understand you don't like unions but I am sure you understand the principle of balance of power. > Unions are compulsory in blue states (non-right-to-work).

In those states you can ask to only pay the part of the dues that concern bargaining activities.
