I don't know. Here in the great white North and in my limited experience, I
have found that A Union shop presents clear rules of work, continuity
guaranteed, a firm contract and a whole mess of amity in having reached
agreements about what is fair/acceptable...kind of a moral building
security...a little like being on the parade grounds and knowing where you
are in the Great Big Fat Scheme Of Things...because of the number of
stripes,   bars or birds you are wearing. :-)

The rules and demands of management are there and known also. It's a
contract. And agreement. (And human: Unreasonableness no doubt, at times,
from both sides...)
