> Unions are democratic organisations. If they’re insisting on gaining something, then a majority of the members are insisting on it. This is not how unions operate in reality. But regardless, you either get something because your employer thinks it will make your happier, or you get something because your union insists on it. Why would you get special treatment just because you're in a union? Your union has to negotiate and accept things on your behalf... not you. You lost that right when you joined the union.
