It's difficult to have to leave the state or public education to find another job as a teacher or other form of educator. And as far as I know you can't be self-employed and work as a teacher for the state of Wisconsin.

I've done this myself, where I used jobs in my early career as stepping stones to get where I wanted. When I saw that my opportunities at the company weren't what I wanted, I went elsewhere.
This worked well for me. Not once in 36 years of employment have I felt I needed any union.

Good for you. I haven't needed unions either, but that's beside the point. This isn't about us.
It's as though you are arguing against the need for unions in the first place, which is a bit silly. Should I argue that the Declaration of Independence wasn't needed in the first place and that the American Revolution was a waste of lives and money? You guys should have become a constitutional monarchy like us. Rather bloodless.
Different situations, different outcomes.
