Labor unions are the Satan to which you are referring. Labor unions brought you many infernal things: the weekend, lunch breaks, paid vacation, social security, minimum wage, FMLA, 8-hour work days, OSHA, sick leave, child labor laws, etc.

Satan indeed!

"They"? Which shop? When? Was that part of contract negotiation/positioning or an actual demand?
