Well one example: Say you're in a trade union (IBEW, UA etc) and work dries up with the company you're working for. You simply get sent back to the union hall and then could be working for whoever the hall sends you to next. If it's really slow you could be sitting around for a while, while those with higher seniority get the first call.
And you're forbidden from ever working with a non-union company, so you can't look there for work if you need it otherwise you'll get booted from the union.
And despite what people may think, the cream does rise to the top and there are ways to get those good workers to stay regardless of their seniority levels (so shitty workers can't always bank on their seniority to get them work)
