Unions don't seem to be as flexible as they should be, considering so many unions are made up of semi-skilled laborers who could be replaced at a minute's notice. There are plenty of other industries that thrive in settings where there's both union and non-union labor, like construction.
How is the Canadian auto industry doing? Back in the 80s, the Canadian branch of the UAW split from the parent union, created the Canadian Auto Workers, and negotiated their own deal with the automakers. There's a great documentary about that whole time.
