I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. You define everything as flowing from self-interest, so logically it follows that it's impossible anyone could hold ideals that don't directly benefit them. That you don't see that this doesn't hold - by simple observation of the world around you - and thus realize your premise is false, is baffling, but there it is.
Perhaps it is worth noting that I also have never been a member of a union. In fact, to the (admittedly very small) extent that I have practiced any labour law, I have always represented a (government) employer.
