I am no expert - but have seen how things work up close a few times.
Union leaders made all sorts of promises - they get the employees all hyped up - making it into a crazy situation where people don't act in a rational way.
Solidarity!! We all must be together and if we stay together we will WIN.
Then BAM they are all out of a job.
I bet all but a few are wondering WTF did I just do? Why did I allow some smooth talking idiot to convince me to risk my job - end up unemployed?

There were two different unions at play here.
Teamsters had agreed to the last and best offer from the company. The Bakers' union walked out. The Teamsters were not at all happy with the Bakers, but did not cross their picket lines.
The Teamsters will qualify for unemployment benefits under Indiana law. The Bakers will not.
