Lets just start a "in house" union to bridge the year gap.

Maybe in the long run that’s a good thing to go one year without one
On September 13, 1948, Machinists' Union members at Boeing went back to work primarily because the strike had become very costly, lasting nearly five months, and they feared the Teamsters Union would take over their representation if they continued to strike, forcing them to return to work without achieving their desired contract terms; this marked the end of a long and unsuccessful strike against Boeing.
NLRB Acts
In June 1948, the National Labor Relations Board requested District Court to grant an injunction requiring the Boeing Company to bargain. The court refused. By late July, it was becoming difficult for the Machinists Union to remain on strike. The Boeing Company refused to bargain. The Boeing Company, with Beck and the Teamsters, was recruiting strikebreakers and some members were becoming scabs. On July 20, the NLRB ordered the Boeing Company "to cease and desist from refusing to bargain with Lodge 751" and to reinstate "all employees who went on strike on April 22, 1948, without prejudice."
In August, William Allen and the Boeing Company announced their intention both to ignore the NLRB and to carry the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Boeing Company defied the NLRB until September.
Machinists End Strike
On September 13, 1948, Machinists' Union members went back to work for the following reasons:
• They were concerned about the Teamsters Local 451.
• The cost of the strike had gone over $2 million.
• About a third of the original 14,000 members had defected.
• The Boeing Company continued to refuse to bargain.
• The Boeing Company and Beck and the Teamsters continued to recruit strikers.
• The provisions of the new Taft-Hartley Act made the strike more difficult to win.
The Boeing Company took the workers back because it was accruing a large financial burden with a fine of $172,000 per day from the NLRB reinstatement order, and, probably most importantly, high military authorities wanted no further delay in production of the B50 because of Cold War Pressure
That will never happen
Plus once you rid of a union you have to go 1 year without one.
