Here, however, its not really a question. Both as a matter of local law and politically, going non-union is increasingly not an option.

Here it isn't even a consideration. They just aren't down here all that much outside of the public sector and the entertainment industry. I think some of the refinery workers may be unionized, but that's about it. Definitely not construction.
