one of the things i remember from Robert Evans\u2019 fantastic \u201cbehind the police\u201d series is that police unions do a pretty mediocre job of improving pay and benefits, with unionization being only weakly correlated with each. they did a fantastic job at making it nigh-impossible to fire killer cops, though.

Yes public sector unions often maximize for job security and not upfront compensation
