The law bans employers from requiring people to be union members before they are hired. In states without right to work laws it is still legal to require employees to join the union after being hired.

No. It's legal to require non members to pay an agency fee for the services the union is required to provide them.[1]

So it's still a closed shop in practice? Was the only point of passing this law to confuse the issue?
