Now, due to the lousy Union bargaining powers, we have to wear air packs so we can breath while we work.
And guess who has to pay for them? That's right. The company.
You see enough of these things and you begin to wonder if there is not a better way to make the management listen to your point of view.

No, the point is not that. Of course, pushing slowly is better than not pushing. However, once again, I don't see a difference between not pushing vs ineffective pushing. IOW, I don't care how hard you work. If you have no results, it matters little whether you sat under a tree and ate bon-bons or you pushed all day but nothing got done. Results count. Talking about how hard you worked is only for losers of the game to talk about.
IF there was a law about that, which I suspect is the case, how is the union solely responsible for it?
You sure about that? Sure it didn't come out of something else they bargained away?
Problem with a union situation is that you are already starting off with an adversarial situation. Kinda like if you and the wife divorce. You bring your lawyer and she brings hers. Her lawyer is going to ask for as much as he can get plus some. Your's will too. OTOH, if you two decide to split amicably, well, things are easier and cheaper.
