I see what you're saying but an "optional" union is pretty much bound to collapse inevitably.

But why shouldn't it? No, seriously. If union isn't providing enough value to justify overhead it creates - it's just a parasite and everyone will benefit once it's gone.

Boeing’s other union (SPEEA) is optional and has been for decades.

That’s only because there’s a union to begin with. If the option was union or no union that would be a story - is it possible to not be in the union at all and not pay dues?
