A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

This is what Swedish unions did even more directly. A company hired labour from Latvia I think it was. The union showed up and said that thats all fine, but you have to pay them properly. None of them were members. They picketed the company for the sake of non-members wages. Why? To avoid social dumping down the line.
This doesn't even need to be in your contract. When union shops get a raise, non-union shops either have to compete, or lose their best labour.
Net income is a small factor. One should compare the total package because the unions are usually way ahead of the non-union.
