You don't need to say it directly. It's obvious from your tone that you're bothered.

> Not if I don't want that contract, or if I don't want to engage in collective bargaining, that I am now forced to join if I want to keep my job.

You don't want higher pay?

What I don't want is union contracts, which have many very significant drawbacks, in the real world, that have nothing to do with pay.

There are many real world examples of union contracts that have very serious issues, regarding many things not related to pay at all.

And yes, I get to point to the problems that I see in real world examples of union contracts, because anything else about some hypothetical that does not exist, is just a story that someone made up in their head.
