Thank you for the information. Over here this is completely regulated and companies do not have any choice in which unions are formed and they cannot make any attemptes to prevent unions. They also have to indirectly subidiase them :)

Everyday employees usually learn about unions though leflets they provide from tim to time, with a mot more information around elections for the company representative body.

One an agreement is in place with the company (which must be above whatthe law requires) then it is binding for everyone, unionized or not.

To be clear: US employees may attempt to organize at any company, but most "union shops" have chosen to use IBEW labor, as it gives them access to larger commercial/govt/industrial projects (depending upon region/jurisdiction).

Non-union shops will typically spend significant funds dissuading "organizing" among the employees, but there are many rules which technically prevent certain actions.

It is still commonly misunderstood that US employees cannot legally discuss their wage/compensation, when there is Federal Law which specifically allows discussion$.
