I was able to buy a new tv and a ps5 for the family this Christmas, because my union benefits saved me so much out of pocket expenses throughout the year that I could afford it. My union also made sure I got vacation pay and sick pay throughout the year so that my paycheck didn't take a hit when I needed time off. My union made sure that I got a guaranteed increase in pay this year so I can afford to live next year.
