i still think the answer for tech is forming professional certifications like accountants or lawyers

that's fine for consultants and working small shops but once you're dealing with a large company you need someone to establish just cause dismissal and handling benefits negotiations

is there a union whose dues are actually a significant portion of its members' paycheck?

standard rate is two working hours per month go to dues so: no

i don't think you understand how a corporation works. the "competition" between the pittsburgh pirates and the new york mets would be little different from "competition" between a pontiac plant and a chevrolet plant.

the important difference is that the mlb is a monopsony, so the artificial "competition" between franchises, enforced by a union contract, creates real benefits for the employees. it's a sham, but it's a valuable sham.

yeah I remember my childhood of going down to the gm plant and cheering for my favorite line shift
