Unions standardise wages.

That’s not much of a problem in most low skill roles where employee productivity exists in a narrow band, but it will never be tolerated by high skill workers.

It’s not just unions, you also see this effect when employers use pay guides to limit wages. The best employees leave because they are no longer being paid in proportion to their value.
