Your government wants you to perform competitive work. When you price yourself out of the market, either by edict or union agreements, there's opportunity to replace by handing your work offshore or to mechanization. The moral is to not price oneself out of the market.
There are services, such as mail delivery or teaching where that work cannot be farmed offshore. I would hope members of those unions don't believe they are qualified to advise manufacturing workers on how to negotiate. Automotive assemblers face very different challenges than folks who don't need to worry about their work being sent offshore.
AOC, as trained educator, has not had to expose herself to that pressure. And there's those who haven't been part of a union. That had to perform on a mutually agreed term of satisfaction or be sent packing. And that's also a pressure that neither union postal workers or teachers face. So, the least qualified people to advise others on how to negotiate with an employer should step back.
