Depends on the union. Some allow for negotiation, some have a scale which you can work with.

Bonuses and supplementary pay are usually not determined by unions and are up to you to negotiate in this situation.

Evidently this is highly industry-dependent. My experience is in the US auto industry, where all union workers' pay and benefits are fixed by what the union negotiates with the company. (At least, they were when I worked in that industry.)
