Wage stagnation can affect unions just as much as anyone else. If you want an example, look at how little teachers get paid despite having one of the largest unions in the country, with an extremely high percentage of professionals having membership. Unions cannot magically make an entire sector start paying more, that’s just not how anything works.
Union teachers make 25% more than non union. There’s no magic, it’s always a fight. You can either fight alone, or with a team. Evidence says having a team works better.
What does the relative pay scale of union vs non-union teachers have to do with anything? The point has been that unions are not magic ways to increase wages across a sector if wages are stagnant for both union and non union workers.
