 Other than construction work I don't know of any place union
 membership is necessary to get a job. And once you are hired
 membership in a union plant is automatic. You don't have to
 apply for it or accept it.

 BA> I happen to believe that *both* are unConstitutional.

 Not as long as union contracts are not legally required. The
 company choses to be union.
