Aren't "weak unions" caused by globalization? Unless the union is global, employers can always respond to stronger unions by pulling the off-shoring lever even more vigorously than they already do.

Globalization adds competition for both labor and business, which will drive prices down. That will limit what unions are able to bargain for, but it also limits what non-union workers are able to bargain for, so it's somewhat orthogonal. A smart union won't bargain so hard that their employer decides to move the facility instead.
