Sure it has. Look up the auto unions in Detroit.

The company caved to union demands back in the 70’s (if you're laid off you get 100% free health care for life).

I knew families where guys were laid off at 30 and had amazing health insurance plans for the rest of their life.

Something like 60% of labor costs were retiree benefits.
