Really depends on your mentor. I've seen some gross abuses where the union was absolutely essential.
Also the union hooked up like BBQs and whatever so like, that's nice.

Most of the actual work of scientific research is done by what we politely euphemize as "early career researchers" or "junior authors": grad-students and postdocs. Tenured and tenure-track professors don't do the bulk of the bench-work, even when they really enjoy it.
