No union in the world asks rates that high. You've been probably have been served some kind of management union busting material if you have ever seen a number that high. 3% is considered very high already.
Anyway AWU is not necessarily trying to bargain for higher wages, but they do work on better job security, better working environments, fairness against abuses, sexual harassment and similar stuff, and obviously they support the political work of anti-genocide groups within Google.
There's always a reason to join a union if you're a worker.
