First, they do not. At least not in right to work states. Auto workers in right to work states make substantially (to the tune of 40%) less.

As to everywhere else - to keep Unions out. The mere threat of unionization is what keeps wages up, you remove that threat and they immediately go down. Now I realize this is not normally a falsifiable statement, but I suggest looking up at manufacturing wages pre and post specific states transitioning to right to work. Numbers are out there, but I do not have any I can share with you.
