In a non-union shop, you're correct.

No, it is the union's job during the Section 6 process to maximize the
size of that pie, and then apportion that pie.

Pretty revealing statement there. Management called us "thugs" when we went on a legal strike in 1998...which achieved a larger pie than management was initially willing to give.

It's not OUR problem on any hand. In fact, it would be illegal for management to even discuss this in an NMB phase of Section 6. Neither side can bargain for or use another employee group for any reason.
