The union will only push back if I’m in a majority group. If I’m part of a minority they won’t push back and will also prevent me negotiating individually with my manager if they’re using collective agreements.
That’s also what goes wrong in an HOA. If the majority want you to paint your fence then that’s it to have to paint it.

Can the employer offer some benefit to an individual union member (e.g. preferred shifts, certain shifts that get bonuses, etc). Sure! But often only by seniority. So the guy who has been around the longest, but doesn't do a great (because the union will protect him) gets the best hours and best bonuses. Can you do a better job? Sure! But it doesn't matter, you don't have seniority. Take that same scenario and apply it across a bunch of other issues you might have with coworkers and you'll get a sense how unions can go wrong.
