That's the way it should be and would be here in the US but for a suite of historical and socio-political influences that have tended to fracture the skilled trade unions into different specialties.

Fortunately most of the big unions fall under the AFL-CIO umbrella, but our laws are such that it's not the case that AFL-CIO can negotiate as a single block.

And of course some of that is simply due to scale since what makes sense in one part of the US doesn't necessarily make sense in another.
