There are union contracts that specify wages as a multiple factor of the min wage. ie Joe SEIU may be paid 2.1 times the min wage. So that factor may be in play here.

Most union contracts have a clause in them that requires an increase to the union workers' hourly rate each time the minimum wage is increased. SEIU is merely getting SF to vote SEIU a pay raise. Sweet, isn't it?

No, they don't. But the minimum wage is a benchmark and you cannot expect union workers to stand still when the minimum wage rises. They will need an increase too.
