No other thoughts on my opinions on the lack of incentive to do more than the minimum necessary?

YOur understanding is wrong. The company sets work standards, and safety practices, as well as productivity numbers. The union's position has been and will always be work to the company's rules. The problem is the people who excel in productivity often skip safety steps to speed up the productivity. The company always looks the other way until someone gets hurt or killed, then if you were only lucky enough to be injured they will suspend you from work with out pay when you are healthy enough to come back.
That is the biggest problem in America is everyone has an understanding but no one knows the facts. It's not like it was in the old days.
