> "whatever the union currently says and will say in the future 100% represents my point of view"

Is that what it says? It says that you have to agree to be legally responsible for the union's opinions on netflix shows, or of your cousin's marriage?

No, it says that you're agreeing for them to represent you with the company, not some made-up all-encompassing scaremongering paraphrasing of that.

The same criticism still works, though. I can like their position for negotiating with Amazon today, without necessarily having to agree that I'm going to like it forever.

Mind you, I'm not necessarily on Amazon's side here. Their scare-mongering is pretty slimy, to say no more. But IMTDb's objection is valid, even adjusted for your criticism.

That's true of any system based on democratic rule. It's not much of a criticism because it's still better than anything else that we've come up with.

At least in Poland there can be multiple unions in same company. Then, you can choose one that represents your views best
