Our members, like individuals who have to negotiate a contract on their own as opposed to collectively, are in a situation where they have to justify compensation based on performance. Collective bargaining is a slightly different context, in the sense that you're bargaining for a group of people, and obviously performance still matters because if the company can't make money, sooner or later it's going to go out of business and people will lose their jobs. That can happen at the individual level too.
