You are not a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. One day you will be old, and it will be harder to find work. Or you will be discriminated against without recourse. Or your employer will try to work you beyond what they're paying you for. Or you will have a wife and family you want to spend time with outside of your job.
Organized labor was never about protecting the mediocre. It was about providing labor with negotiating power against capital.
