I’m in Canada, but I work an hourly contract with no explicit vacation time. By law I need to be paid some minimum amount to cover the bare minimum of vacation time (4% of my wage, I think) but ultimately if I’m on vacation, I’m not going to get a pay cheque.

maybe there is a language thing here buy you said you are on an hourly contract?

Are you employed by this company as a full time employee, or are you a contractor?

In the U.S. at least, this is a night and day difference so I guess that is why I am trying to get clarification on that.

I’m an employee, but my hours aren’t set. I can work no hours or forty in a week. I was a contractor before, but this arrangement made it easier to add other forms of compensation besides wages to our agreement. It’s an atypical arrangement.

I don't think given the info you've presented here, you can fairly make a comparison of union vs non.
