> What makes you feel that a union wouldn’t represent your interests?
They definitionally don't. Unions represent the union's interests. It is the design intent of unions to represent an amalgamation of their members. That's already not the same as my interests, but the union organization itself is also an incentivized actor.
These distinction are far from a subtlety.
My interests might overlap with the union's interest, but that's highly situational.
