You can but it doesn't come without a price. You will be faced with huge public relations problems as the union brings the media in to cover the story. Your company will not be able to do business as strike lines and protests are formed outside your company. You should try to reach an agreement with the union. When I got my M.B.A. from Purdue, I had a class that equated labor union to marriage counselors. You don't want them but if there are problems with the relationship, you'll need it.
The union tells its story while earning no pay and collecting no dues during a VOULNTARY strike it voted for. The employer tells its story to the public while using replacement workers and supervisors to keep operating.
Non-union suppliers will ignore the picket line, which is legally forbidden to blocade the company. remember that only 7% of private sector workers are unionized. The employer is seldom crippled by a strike.
Companies do not ever need unions. Some worklers do.
