    I just started freelancing full time in May of this year. I have a bad vibe about unions but I don't know anything about them so I'm not going to speak strongly one way or the other. I'm open to learning more, but as of this second and my grasp of the concept, I don't like the idea of anyone telling me how to perform, who to perform with or when to perform it. If I was part of a union and could muscle my unwilling clients or employer to perform a certain way, that might be nice, but then that would mean they could tell me to do a thing a certain way, and that would blow my mind. That may come off as defiant and not playing well with others, but it's my knee-jerk response.

    Help me understand why I shouldn't hate it.
