I’d bet that most unions (in the US) don’t have professional certifications and tests. Most unions in the US are for low(er) skilled jobs.

Collective bargaining is literally the whole point of a union (and essentially forms the definition of a union).

Like which jobs? Amazon, McDonalds, Walmart all are non-union. Major union professions are nurses, teachers, plumbers, steel workers, automotive workers, none of which are exactly low paid

I think a prerequisite for union to be successful is that it's members have leverage by withholding their collective labor, otherwise how to they negotiate?
