You think you have the leverage against a huge company? It might not feel like begging, but it basically is. And even if you're high enough that it's not begging, have some care for the vast majority of non-union workers getting screwed.

I personally have a ton of leverage in my line of work since it’s a niche are and I have a fairly unique skill set. If my company doesn’t meet my compensation demand I’ll just go to another. Again, this isn’t a knock on unions, they can be great for many workers especially non-skilled labor. But for me there is no benefit.
