Honestly I'd be fine with all that. Its the fact that whatever they get cannot ever be taken away, no matter how insane, and they steamroll the people they allegedly represent as much as anyone.
I don't care if a garbage worker gets 100k a year with 50 sick days. As long as when people are willing to do it for 80k + 49 sick days the system adjusts. And the garbage workers themselves get to choose whether to be in (pay for) the union or not. Then I know the union really does work for the people they represent, and it doesn't mean they work against me by definition.
