Let them Bargain as a collective but take away their ability to use the electorate against the government.
I disagree, there's plenty of evidence in jurisdictions that have Right to Work legislation still having union influence. In fact it generally leads to more effective collective labour units.

It just forces the union leadership to actually address the interests of the minority or face the consequences of losing their membership. Right now they have carte blanche to trample the interests of the minority in the name of the 'greater good', without any worries whatsoever. Exhibit 1: making huge donations to only certain political parties.
