Why don't they just change professions? Ummm because they have a union and don't have to. You answered your own question of why they have a union, it's because if they didn't have a union they'd have to change their profession...
There are very few professions where there's really very few exit opportunities from that profession into other professional level work. One is pilots. Another is professional athletes. They both have unions.
