Individual workers do not have the leverage to “stand up for themselves,” they just get knocked down. In all likelyhood, this was just the contract that Cathy was offered.
Their leverage is their value to the company. If you’re not capable of providing more than minimum value for your employer, then why should you work for that company? Find a company you can do more for.
That’s not much leverage when there are many, many, people who need work to to live. Against a lone laborer, management holds almost all the cards. There’s always someone more desperate.

Are you for real? “Find a company you can do more for”? Fuck that. More like:
If your employer can’t pay you more than the minimum for the value of your work, then why should you work for that company? Find a company that will pay you for the value of your work.
Why would I ever do more work than what I’m being compensated for?
Not all of us “live to work.” There’s more to life than your job.
Who negotiated for Cathy? She didn’t need collective bargaining, she needed to learn to stand up for herself - as every worker should.
“who negotiated for Cathy” well if her contract is pegged to union pay then the union negotiates for cathy
Management probably giving that $0.50 bump hoping to discourage union membership and undermine their negotiating power.
Most definitely, but the leeches still get a higher pay than they usually would - until the union collapses.
Kind of funny… Idiots.
If I were Cathy, I would help that union raise their pay and membership.

poe’s law is real. Can’t tell if unmarked joke, or just doesn’t know anything about the history of labor or what.
