I don't think you understand how unions work...
Closed-shop unions are illegal in the US, for starters, so you can't have a closed-shop industry-wide union.
The only industry-wide unions that exist set workplace protections and salary floors but no salary caps...and no indutry-wide union has ever embraced seniority-based pay because, being an industry-wide union, that regime wouldn't work across the very different economic environments of 50 states and their thousands of cities.
