Are you really not able to distinguish between these two positions: (1) support of unions in order to strengthen the bargaining power of employees; and (2) support of unions because I have a right to a cushy union job and others should be left footing the bill for my law-protected perks and benefits that I amusingly call rights?

As long as unions have no more legal rights/powers than a local chess club, I have 0 problems with collective bargaining.

BTW more fancy language please.
I'm not sure that you understand what collective bargaining is.

HINT: it requires that the "local chess club" be the exclusive bargaining agent for its members, and... you guessed it, that is a unique legal power/responsibility.
