collective bargaining: if you are a fungible asset and the company can replace you and hire somebody else for the same price, no problem, tomorrow, then perhaps a collective bargaining is a good idea. If they can't replace all 10,000 of you for the same price, no problem, tomorrow, but they could on an individual basis, collective bargaining gains leverage and stability.
non-collective bargaining: every individual effectively makes their own deal. if the individual is not fungible, then bargaining en-mass to the lowest common denominator or average contributor will hurt at least some if not all of the individuals. so make your own deal since you are above average and this will be better. plus you avoid the union tax.
so it depends. if you are below average or easily replaceable then UNION is better for you. otherwise, make your own deal on your own merits and avoid the tendency to pull the above-average down to the midling.
unions are machines that thrive on, produce, and require, conformity and therefore must reject individuality.
