I can't speak for all businesses, but all the ones I've dealt with you didn't have an option. You joined the union or you didn't have the job. So it wasn't a viable tactic because it didn't have any comparison because there either was no union, all union, or only union in a completely different section of the business with such different pay/benefits it didn't matter.
I've seen some where people can become worker/managers, where on days they're working as a grunt, they're unionized, but on days they're working as managers, they're non-unionized. But those are generally worst-of-both-worlds, not best.
Yeah my old job was one of those. Luckily our specific building voted the union out years ago, but every other location the manager was non-union while all the workers were.
My buddy who xferred over said it was the worst possible position to try and manage in.
