Your issues involving unions only impact a small percentage of US companies and workers - compared to the whole labor force, they hardly impact much. Have you seen any actual cases of higher bond yields for unionized companies compared to non-union in the last few months, real examples?

In 2008, union members accounted for 12.4 percent of employed wage
and salary workers, up from 12.1 percent a year earlier, the U.S.
Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The
number of workers belonging to a union rose by 428,000 to 16.1 million.
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.
