Do the unions ever do without? Have they cut their payroll and pensions and lifetime health coverage?

These are sincere questions for which I have no answers. This isn't intended to start any arguments!
If you have health insurance, thank a union.
If you have overtime, thank a union.
If you have vacation time, thank a union.
If you have suffered discrimination, and prevailed, thank a union.
If you are female, and work for 'equal pay', thank a union.
If you work in an environment with 'safety regs', thank a union.

And, btw, I am not union, have never been union, but, recognize the union's purpose and presence in today's current employment (or, should I say, Labor) environment.
