Don't unions really restrict your salary growth in fields where there's actual potential for it?

Nope.

I'm in software engineering and I reckon a whole bunch of people would be unhappy if their salary was in a direct relationship with their years of experience.

Why would increasing your bargaining power lower your wages?

If you read my other comment, basically I've heard from other commenters online that some collective bargaining agreements restrict individual bargaining. That would suck. If the union only sets floors instead of absolutes or ranges, that is another thing entirely and something that I'm very much in favor of.

Those commenters have no idea what they are talking about. You are always stronger aligned with your fellow workers.
