I think the main point was lost a bit once actual numbers got involved: Everyone gets these benefits in other countries, regardless of type of job. Of course you get paid holidays and good healthcare, but what about all the other people in your town enabling you to have your jobs - healthcare workers, cleaners, workers in the shops and warehouses and so on? The point of unions isn't maximized profits for a few, but a good living for everyone. That reduces income inequality, which sometimes lessens the options for the few at the top of the income pyramid.
