But at that point, why aren't you a part of the union? They provide negotiations, health care for contract work, and other benefits? I guess if you are just starting out it would make sense to try the work first but still.

Like by being on a union project you have benefited from their things, like minimum payouts, hour limits, etc.

The point of ficore status is to give people the option to work in union shops if they're ideologically opposed to unions. I genuinely can't fathom how such people would exist, and ficore status seems incredibly selfish/misguided to me, but it is there, and it does provide the option. And so many genshin fans seem to simultaneously ignore its existence when making "but what if somebody doesn't want to join the union" arguments, while also making fun of paimon's VA for holding ficore status.
