I'm sort of doubtful that there's any way the union can afford to pay out increased salary for 500 years unless the vast majority of a workers' pay goes toward the union.

Edit to add it looks like it might be enough to cover the striking workers because the union that covers them goes back 150ish years and it's a small fraction of the union striking. Slightly more plausible understanding that.
