Flap,

Just so we are clear here, I never mentioned "stock options".

There is a vast difference between buying a share of stock and paying ongoing union dues. In the first instance I am buying a piece of a company in hopes that I will get price appreciation based on the performance of that company. The money paid does not go to the company. If I find that I do not like how management handles things, etc.: I have several options available to me ranging for selling my shares (hopefully at a profit)and receiving my money back to mounting a campaign to bring about change. The Union member on the other hand has no such option other than to keep paying his dues without respect to his individual wishes.

As you point out, when you "sit down to bargain"... the key word is bargain. I don't know about you, but in my lifetime I have bought more than 200 properties and in no instance did I make my last offer first. As you must realize, negotiation is an art difficult to master. The vast number of books on the market offering expertise provide testimony. Would you expect your opponent to be unprepared? I sense sometimes, you are too close to the action and are emotionally impacted. No slight intended.
