You and I don’t need the protection of a union now because we have the experience to get what we want. But what of the young guys looking to get into this business now? Without a united group they’re at the mercy of the present generation of managers who will certainly put themselves first. Don’t you think they’d be better off if they were all united?
What if you skipped the whole unionised workforce thing and simply provided mentoring to those less experienced than yourself? I mean, you're clearly against personal gain at the expense of others, so it shouldn't be too hard to use your experience to help out the young guys? I don't see where needing a union comes into it.

With an industry full of altruistic people such as yourself, the wisdom you possess to defeat the present generation of managers can be passed from old to young. Kind of like an Olympic flame of aviation.

That is the idea, isn't it?
