Opposed. I'm better than some of my peers, not as good as others. Working in the financial industry, we each deserve a bonus that reflects our skill level.
Just as bad, it'd be impossible to get rid of some people that desperately needed removal. Mind you, I was in a union while I was in High School, and my father and grandfathers were union men. What we do now and what was done then are quite different. What we work on is distinct (though complimentary), as opposed to being identical copies of what everyone else does. A Guild is closer to what we are, a group of skilled individuals who share the same craft. But that's quite different than a Union. I just realized that the Writers Guild of America is a union and a Guild. What we do is analagous to what their members do. I need to think about this... Revised slightly for clarity.
