The way to solve this is to pay people fair and equal wages. Union employees all know how much everyone makes (at least my union), and nobody is jealous and starts workplace drama. We might be pissed if someone’s in a higher position than us and therefore getting paid better, but that’s an issue in any workplace.
If someone is getting paid more for the same work (as in, they’re in a higher position so they’re getting paid better), then the employee takes it up with the union who fights on their behalf to improve their salary.
Payment transparency leads to employees having the ability to demand change and argue for themselves.
Unions aren’t a perfect system but there’s a reason they work.

I think you misunderstand. Unions aren’t the problem, it’s the spineless useless union reps that don’t adequetly protect the workers. Like he would advocate for those that he’s friends with, but then they have a beef with you for some weird reason and then neglect their duties to help you with stuff. Kinda like politicians in a democracy not representing their constituents. Its not the democracy being a problem, its a people problem.
Tbh, Idk why dipshits get elected as the union rep, but dumb people exist in the electorate, just as with the union members.
(But I don’t work there anymore so that’s out of my hands, their problem to fix)
