Negotiate alone with what leverage? We are all replaceable. As soon as they figure out it’s just you, they will fire you and pick someone else from the hundreds of thousands who have an equivalent skill set.
Yeah, all those qualities are a basic requirement to get a job. I have never worked with someone who didn’t have those qualities. There not something you can leverage to get a raise.
Then negotiate. But don’t do anything to make the negotiation favorable to you and don’t do anything to prevent the other party from making the negotiation favorable to them.
Wtf do you think negotiation is?
This opinion is cousin to “then vote with your wallet, but if you boycott anything then you’re woke”
And sibling to “the free market is best, except people shouldn’t be free to organize against corporations”
They lead to higher wages, job security, better benefits, and better PTO/sick days. In every respect, in general, a union job is better for the worker than a non union job.
They lead to companies being forced to keep horrible employees that cost them money
I don’t care.
and pay them more than they’d otherwise need to.
Good, that’s the fucking point.
You could have negotiated better pay for yourself
You can’t, which is why unions have higher pay.
Sick time shouldn’t be a thing. No one should be incentivized to call in sick, and that costs the company money
Are you a troll, or are you genuinely this backwards?
Posting a bunch of union propaganda doesn’t change the fact that they only serve themselves.
My dude, this is all of the sources showing that they’re better jobs. It’s the government, corporate media, scientific research, all coming to the same conclusion. It ain’t propaganda.

Deceiving myself about what?

Absolute braindead take. Spoken like a nepobaby or a child who has never worked.
Negotiation almost de facto requires group effort, or a union. The only time negotiation works outside of that is edge cases.

Unions aren’t mandatory. There is no taking. Given such a fundamental lack of understanding on that front really makes me doubt your story.
Yes there is, there’s the union elections and the consent required for participation.
