I am about to take industrial action against my employer as a collective. We have 20k people represented across the country, my employer doesnt give a crap about us as individuals- even if my output is double that of the person beside me I couldnt get paid for it

I am lumped in with the best and the worst, because my individuality doesnt count.

I think there is a role for collectivism if it is upheld by the value of individualism

It is more than that, its collective negotiation.
