I would also hope that those people working there have been appropriately screened and if they were the "typical Union worker" nobody seems to like, they wouldn't get the job in the first place!

Prior to the bill voted on, there was not choice, be union or don't work here. Sounds like they got a real choice now.

No, the individual employees now have rights they did not have in the past, as in the right not to pay union dues if they so choose...

If unions are so great, why would they care if the state is the collection agency for them ?

Prospective new hires for the various production worker (all union) positions are screened, and the more technical positions necessitate experience ie flight line and final assembly, with all labor grades according to task. You won't have just anyone putting an engine in, obviously. lol New hire assemblers are screened for experience and inexperienced assemblers are sent to class.

The plant is like a small city and literally every job imaginable is there. Labor grades differ for each task imaginable. Anyone who touches an aircraft part has to be schooled on the various degrees of their job, new hire or not.
