Hey, my first job was working for Chrysler in the 80s in Detroit as a production supervisor (a/k/a foreman) on the assembly line. I know unions well. My subordinates were of UAW Local 0007, one of the first in the USA. Low seniority was 26 yrs; high 44 years! I was a minority in every sense of the word.

OT ... >>>Unions are a hindrence to this competitiveness as they prefer the status quo. Europe, which arguably has as much raw basic scientific research as the US, lacks this competitiveness because it's hobbled by labor and other impediments to rapid economic change.<<<

That's simply an incorrect "blanket" statement. I won't go further as it really doesn't belong on this forum.
