It’s a way to reach a balance between what employers want and what unions want. What employees want tends to become rather irrelevant, like it is in this Tesla situation for example.

It typically doesn’t even balance employer and union wants.

Almost always, the unions ask for too much get bloated, then the employer outsources or offshores to get back to paying market wages.

It’s a pattern I’ve seen over and over again. For whatever reason, union agreements often turn out to be unstable arrangements.
