You have a very valid point on the issues of letting people go from in house unions. Protections are there for a reason, but a lot of times those who are the problem and need to be escorted out are the ones using the protections. It is one of the big upper hands that trade unions have versus these in house unions. Fuck around and you get laid off on a construction site without issue, but an in house union goes to a whole other level with arbitrations and such.

40% raise brings pay to $25.20 - 44.80 per hour. That’s starting at $50,400 and topping out at $93,184.

That doesn’t seem so unreasonable given inflation and current prices of vehicles that resulted in a 2022 profit of 10 billion dollars.

Wrong.

For the entire "$15/hr minimum wage!" debacle, the MSM has repeatedly told us how wrong it is to believe there is a link between wage hikes and price hikes, and that it never happens.  All those fat cat millionaire CEO's just pull those extra wage costs out of their own wallets and prices stay the same.  They promised.

This has been my experience.

And also why, other than some IBEW folks, I've seen the unions consolidating leadership/locals in the trade unions.  They're trying to remove the locals ability to control the finances, etc.  As the money pot gets cut off to the powers above don't be surprised if a lot of unions slew towards the right if, and this is a big if, they can break that chain.

The Dems only want them for their donations because most of the blue collar organization donations have been replaced by the tech class and leftist organizations use unions as a training ground for various other leftist organization recruiters.  The trade unions are a mess thanks to the same issues afflicting the rest of the country.

And better wages mean you can attract better and more productive employees that aren't high on dope or get hurt because they are fuckups.

Honestly, they do underpay their workers. Hell, I'd give them 50% if I could hire and fire at will.

Idk where the data on wages comes from but a friend of mine works in a GM foundry. His wife cuts hair. Together they make enough that they aren't eligible for most tax credits, can't do Roth IRAs, etc. And he's been there for about 5 years so still quite low in seniority and pay. That's not all coming from cutting hair. They used to be so poor they couldn't afford vacations, cars, or basic home repairs, now they take multiple  vacations per year and drive really nice cars.
