Many regions in the US have been hit hard by globalization and manufacturing job loss. The choice isn't necessarily viewed as union vs non-union, but unemployment vs non-union. It seems they are choosing the jobs.
They are competing against other parts of the world in terms of labor supply. I don't know how you overcome that without either demonstrably higher productivity or protectionism.
