I don't know labor law, but if you're right, it's completely ridiculous. I know for a fact that union employees are allowed to receive benefits and pay increases that non-union employees don't get. If the other side of the coin is illegal, then the law is insane.

Specifically because it's a union-busting tactic, employers cannot give benefits to non-union employees that are not at least offered to union employees.

Remember, the employer/employee relationship is an inherently unequal one. The freedom of the employer to do certain things is curtailed for the common good, in exchange for substantial power and economic advantages.
