Let's ask the reverse question also, why would the union do anything to help the workers? Do they get paid more in that case? Incentives are the answer to all these questions. There is no incentive for a union to care about safety concerns. they have a monopoly.

Every union officer is elected by the workers, so yes, they have an incentive to please them. Historically, unions have been responsible for a massive amount of health & safety improvements in the workplace.
