> unions often diminish individual accomplishments and liberties in favor of what begins as collective interest

Is that why NFL players have no individuality and are basically just substitutes of each other? I doubt anyone even knows any individual football player's name, since the union has so diminished their individual accomplishments.

Who even knows the names of movie stars anymore? They just go by their SAG-AFTRA member IDs since the union has made them all practically interchangeable.

They are pretty interchangeable, but I have to say I am a bit partial to actor 958309 from SAG-AFTRA 5757, his performance in Inception was pretty great.

I heard 958309 got a flogging for that performance because it violated union bylaws that forbid one member from making other members look like slackers. That'll show him for being a prima donna and giving it his all!
