On an individual basis, employees have made themselves more desirable by education and training, and the need for unionized employment isn't what it once was.
Agree, but large unions are trying to remain relevant so as to sustain their huge profits by placing exceptionally ludicrous demands on companies such as not being able to hire contract workers to replace union workers when they retire or leave, regardless of whom is most qualified for the positions. This has zero to do with attempting to promote seniority, and everything to do with keeping the union in existence to maintain its profits.

Unions are a big business. I personally know some of the union leadership for various unions here in this state and they are a caricature of the stereotype. Their job is to make the union valuable and personally benefit.
