unions have allways reacted negatively, as it would effectively prevent them from negotiating for higher wages,
Maybe take away power from the union, but the union can totally still negotiate a minimum wage if it want. The union I’m part (insurance workers of the state of São Paulo) have a minimum wage, higher that the state and national one.
Sometimes a union will promote the union interest rather than member interest. There is a current scandal about corrupt unions here in Australia. We have a national minimum wages and also award wages by sector and seniority, like hundreds of minimum wages.

That is fair, I was absolutely projecting my Swedish biases in my earlier comment, sorry about that.
