> I mean, the union members agreed to a collective agreement.
The union agreed to some bargain with the employer. That's not a contract with individual employees. No third-party can bind me to a contract without my explicit consent.
Unions employ lawyers; most scaffolding erectors don't have lawyers.
> What the union wants is "to eat their cake and have it too".
This has hardly anything to do with the union; the industrial action in this case is wildcat action, without the sanction of the union. The impression I've formed is that this action is by a bunch of workers that have lost confidence in their union reps.
