What does it say about the company if they do give it benefits to non-striking employees? To my understanding, companies don't have to do that. They should be able to pay whatever they want.

If I’m negotiating a collectively bargained contract as a union rep, I’m expressly excluding non-striking employees from any contractual benefits. If the employer chooses to pay the non-union employees the same or more, then that is their prerogative.

Not sure what you mean. Most companies worth a grain of salt already offer good benefits, yearly COL/merit raises, and many give bonuses. Why the need to collective bargain? I mean if it’s a s****y company just go somewhere else.

What if there are unnecessarily unsafe conditions industry-wide in your trade/profession?

And again, what does that say about the employer that continues to offer benefits to non-union employees?

Cool. So the company can choose to only hire non union workers and eliminate the more expensive overpaid union employees? If the union was so necessary everyone would want to join, right?

Furthermore if the business was such a demonstrably horrible place to work, there would be no need to intimidate, harass, and harm people who want to cross a picket line to gain employ in said business. These tactics would be unnecessary.

Sure, they can try. That’s the constant struggle that unions and employers wage.
