Hey Piņa;

I'm not sure if by saying "the inverse is true", you mean to imply that tough unionism makes management respond in kind (get stingy, use aggressive junior man tactics to staff every weekend, decrease pay and whittle away at work rules) or not, but if that is what you meant I have to take issue based on personal experience. Combative unionism at either L-CAL or L-UAL factored in little and contributed nothing in the way of molding the current managerial philosophy. Maybe you can explain what you meant a little more?
