It sounds to me that the union helped not only themselves, but the compnay's non-union workers, too. If the union had not been there at all, the workers would have gotten minimal. Because the union negotiated X, the non-union workers got X+Y. If the union negotiated X+1, the non-union workers got X+1+Y.
