I suspect most people here are highly educated in sought-after, high-paying jobs. There is a valid point that the net benefits of unions in such cases are low.

Workers unions were created by and for factory workers, miners, etc. People who had zero leverage individually.
In addition, we might be a more individualistic and competive crowd who think they are better than average and thus better off bargaining for themselves.
