Had that been a civilian job, you could always get letters of recommendations in order to leverage your dedication with a new heirarchy within the company or apply to a whole different company all together. Right now with the bad economy it's not the best conditions, however companies are always looking for the hard workers. Instead of paying someone to leverage your work capabilities do it yourself. The great thing about a fluid work environment is employers can only take so much advantage of their workers as they will always leave to greener pastures.

IMO, it has little to do with "leveraging your dedication or work capabilities" (whatever that means) but rather ensuring that employee rights are protected.
In any case....there is a simple solution if you dont like unions.
If you are working for a company where employees are interested in a union and the majority vote to do so through a card check and you do not support it...leave for that "greener pasture" that you suggest is out there.
Union busting and intimidation of workers is still wide spread....ask the employees at Walmart, Starbucks, Verizon... A common practice on the rise is the hiring of union busting consultants to "teach" employers" how to do it legally.
