“Why do non-union small business pay more than union jobs?”

No they don’t, most if not all union contracts do not state the worker gets say $30.00 an hour, it will state the the union worker is paid a multiple of the minimum wage say 5 times minimum wage so at $7.50 per hour for minimum wage a union worker would be paid 5 times that amount per hour. so a $1.00 increase in the minimum wage also gives union workers a $5.00 an hour raise.
