I see what you are saying, but it's also almost the complete opposite of a union shop. The huge differences that you don't have to work outside of 8 hour day (without time and a half pay) and you are also paid more than non-union people, but basically guaranteed pension and job for life if you get in.

The system you just described encourages incompetence. Drag jobs out to as long as possible to force overtime if you need some extra cash. Don't bother putting effort into your work because you are all but impossible to fire. Additionally, refuse to do things just barely outside of your job scope because that falls under a different union worker's responsibility and you are concerned about growing the union, not doing good work.

Luckily the wonderfully rebellious and wild US non-union culture definitely doesn't encourage incompetence and fraud. That Color thing never happened.
