A significant proportion of union membership loves Trump and is actively voting for him in this election. The exact proportion varies according to the union. I could not find an exact statistic, but I found the following illuminating nonetheless: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/22/donald-trump-union-...
Furthermore, union membership is only 10% of the workforce. This is according to figures reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
"In 2019, the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of unions--the union membership rate--was 10.3 percent, down by 0.2 percentage point from 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions, at 14.6 million in 2019, was little changed from 2018. In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent and there were 17.7 million union workers."
It's hard to say. For most people it would not work out well, unless you're in an occupation where it's easy to find work. As far as unions go, the broader question is whether or not unions are needed these days for the working class to demand change, or whether relying on them is the best strategy. Union leaders undermined the general strike in England in 1926. But unions would be the way to go for non specialized labor. Union membership is low, but that could change the more democracy is undermined, although not enough for the general strike in question.
