If someone is not part of the bargaining group, not a member of the union, the employer is free to pay that employee at a different rate. At least that's what a quick Google search turned up.

Sometimes an employer with a small workforce will do the smart thing and pay more than the going rate for that job. But they don't try to break a union by paying the non union workers more. Too bad. So meanwhile the ones who refuse to join are not paying their fair share for the benefits they get.
