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.

“who negotiated for Cathy” well if her contract is pegged to union pay then the union negotiates for cathy

If I were Cathy, I would help that union raise their pay and membership.
