I am a Master's level professional, work for a social service agency. I am in a union.
After years at my company, they are raising their "productivity" requirements 25%.
In other words: instead of doing X amount of work per week, all workers will now be required to do X + 25% of work.
My questions: is this legal? Is this enforceable?
Also, since we're in a union, can the union prevent this?
I just don't see why I should do 25% more work for the same salary.
Is it addressed at all in your contract? What is your product? Case files, visits, etc.? It is a productivity goal: I don't know why it would be illegal.

These are good questions.
I don't think it's addressed in the union contract (but it should be).
If the union can't help in this kind of instance, what is the union for?
When that happens, I look for a job that requires 25% less work. I have worked in numerous jobs. I always found it odd that another employer can requires less hours and less productivity for higher pay.
As I do my exit interview, the hiring managers say I can always come back. I just smile and nod.

Has anyone been in a situation like this?
Thank you!
Go to the union rep, discuss...
Personally I'd say "Pay me 25% more and I'll do my best"
Ask yourself: Would a new hire be willing to do it, and for less salary? Undoubtedly. Maybe it's a way to "facilitate" early retirement for older employees.
If you don't know what a CBA is, you have missed the whole point of being in a union.
Haha, our union is weak and just pretty much ineffective
