You in your non union job have no negotiating power. There is the door if you don't like it.
Actually, if I do a really good job, I am in a very powerful position to negotiate that which interests me (higher compensation, more personal time, enhanced benefit, more or different responsibility...whatever) because my employer values my contribution and understands the costs and uncertainty factor involved in hiring and training a replacement employee.
Regarding the door, that is the ONLY way I'd have it. If I want to take my talent, effort and hard work elsewhere, I do not want anything in the way of making such a transition. Again, my employer needs to know that if I'm not satisfactorily compensated, I will walk. If they know that my walking will be burdensome for me, I lose some of that negotiating power. Having the door at my disposal is powerful.
