Sometimes union expectations are as ridiculous as what corporations try to get away with. In some ways of course, they're the same motivation -- trying to remove yourself from the normal rules of economics and what you can bargain for with customers and suppliers.

In what magical world do unions expect that they can achieve all of 1) high wages, 2) great benefits, 3) long, protected employment contracts, 4) reducing anyone's work obligation to the minimum? I too would love if by legislation against reality, I could be paid a lot, forever, to do a job I could phone in via Zoom.

Life comes with tradeoffs, unless you're very lucky.
