sixate,
If you did finally quit your non-union job and began working full-time at this new job you would have health care and whatnot, right? But what if this new company decided that they weren't making enough money and took away all those benifits. You would want to try and get those benifits back, and the best way to do that would be to form a union. Unions are more of a "war-time" organization so-to speak. You don't recongnize their usefullness now because you haven't really needed them. You may need to get rid of your particular union, but unions in general are a very usefull tool in getting workers rights.
