I think it should also be mentioned that a strong company can stand up better to a union. Caterpillar has a union in Peoria (UAW I think) and during a strike CAT was able to bring in temp workers and dragged negotiations out for a long enough time that the contract was more favorable to CAT.
They make it very well known that the factory will not stop with a strike. About 2 years ago during negotiations a strike was threatened and they sent office workers into the factory to learn what to do. My buddy who is an engineer spent a day learning how to do a job from a union employee in case of a strike.
