Yeah, it's pretty much "let them fight" at this point.
My father used to work in a union. It was a small, specialist one in a small, specialist field that more-or-less demanded that the union actually behaved properly ... they weren't even run at a thumping loss!
Needless to say, they got Borged into another, bigger union (who had seen their bank balance) that treated members as serfs and reps as aristocracy, and pulled stupid shit like needless strikes - my father's old union struck once in it's 100+ year history, and almost brought the government down when it did.
Strikes are your nuclear option. Over-use them and countermeasures will be deployed, and then where do you go? But the new union didn't care about the welfare of the members, merely that the reps got to look like they were doing something.
