Have the unions been "dancing to their own music"? Have they been open to diversity (race, religion, sex, sexuality, disability)? Have they put the needs of members ahead of the needs of their leaders? Have they been fighting for the most disadvantaged? If they have not why would we want them to be able to force non-secrete ballots? Seems to me that the end result could be that those to gain the most from unions can intimidate those who would gain little from the union. It is not always about management being intimidating.
