Has there ever been a controlled study about whether collective bargaining leads to higher wages in the long run? (Excluding effects like lobbying for restrictions on entering the market.)
From what I know, I can't rule out that collective bargaining for higher wage is like advancing the tide with a bucket.

They abhor it but they may never have tried it. A lot of other workers have collectively bargained and received higher pay and other non-pay benefits.
Also, it's not like you have to form a union or anything. Just collectively bargain for a raise or whatever this one time.
