Yes, that is a correct assumption. And yes, around 90% of all employees are covered by some sort of CBA. But only about 70% are in a union.
I have no statistics to back this up, and this is only my guess. The rest 10% are many smaller companies and startups that have few employees is what I have read some where.
The unions will only start negotiation with a company for a CBA if the company has employees that are in the union and if those employees ask the union to start negotiations. If no one asks the union for it, the union won’t do anything.
Ex if att company pays its employees 20% more and have better benefits than the industrial standard. No union employees will probably ask the union to start negotiations since they already have it better than the CBA states.
