As for pay packages, if they give you just enough, don't you think you would do better, like the APA does?
I don't think you could really do much worse without a union at several of the companies listed. Literally. The only benefit the union provided was saving the company from itself. And yes, it would have been worse in the short term for those affected. But a few of the unions you mentioned are actually hurting the ones they say they represent by not having the strength to be flexible.
