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.

Toyota Motor Corp. gave workers at its largest U.S. plant bonuses of $6,000 to $8,000, boosting the average pay at the Georgetown, KY, plant to the equivalent of $30 an hour. That compares with a $27 hourly average for UAW workers, most of whom did not receive profit-sharing checks last year. Toyota would not provide a U.S. average, but said its 7,000-worker Georgetown plant is representative of its U.S. operations....
"How do you convince someone you're better off with the protection of a union when they're making more money than the union employee?" asked Alfred McLean, a 66-year-old hourly UAW member at General Motors Corp.'s Warren Tech Center. He has 28 years of experience.

Ryanair attracts union protests over non-union salary increase - Forbes.com
Quote:
The European Transport Workers' Federation and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ETF, ITF) objected after the budget carrier decided yesterday to raise pay by 3 pct backdated to April 1, except to employees negotiating through unions....
This pay increase reinforces the strength of Ryanair's model whereby people negotiate directly with the company and as a result enjoy better pay and conditions than our low-pay unionised competitors,' he said yesterday.

If the place I work at decides to unionize... I leverage my non-union status for higher wages. If my counterparts want to make my own pasture greener I'm all for it.
