Time will tell.....
If the IAM were smart, they'd realize they could be easily locked out at the first sign of trouble. While its difficult to replace CSAs and baggage handlers for several stations overnight, its not impossible (hey, it worked with mechanics) and on a totally different magnitude of replacing pilots or flight attendants.
Watch out for DGS job fairs in DTW and MSP.
