You are missing the point. The company absolutely does not want the other union groups to organize - that is our leverage. We make it clear that a certain point we will proactively help them organize. This is just another data point the company will have to include in its costs equation.
I also like the fact that if the other groups are orgainized I will no longer have to hear "Well if we get they will have to give it to the FAs, and that would cost too much money.
As far as spending money on helping them organize who cares? Once the dues money comes out of my paycheck it is gone. $1.7 Million on a used car TA sales job - did anyone get asked if they were OK with that?
