If you're part of a union, you don't gain negotiating power, you trade away individual negotiating power for collective negotiating power. Sometimes this is a good trade. It depends on the context, on the industry, on the sort of work you do.

Yeah, just be one of .0001% of workers with a rare, highly marketable skill and you won't need a union...
