One of the most corrosive effects of unions is the need of the business they've extorted to make a profit now that the wages are higher and the sale price of the good is inelastic.
That means you can't just raise prices for you SEIU members.
You can't lower wages, the union has seen to that.
But what if you can get the union worker to make more units in the same time frame?
So you engineer things to be easier to assemble and automate the assembly of as many parts as you can.
I got laughed at for pointing this out, but a bot can make a circuit board with embedded relays on it for lot less than paying a UAW worker to install relays in a fuse box.
Thus, we end up with a $500 part we need to replace because a relay failed rather than a $5 relay.
It's why we have to buy assemblies and cannot buy parts.
