The premise of the question in the OP is rediculous.
As for whether or not Unions care about non-union workers I can only re-post and point to the facts.
Unions benefit all of America’s workers and strengthen our communities.
Unions today:
Reinforce the middle class and lift up America’s communities. States with higher rates of unionization have lower rates of poverty, crime, and failing schools.
Benefit local economic development. In partnerships with employers, community organizations, and local governments, unions have helped revitalize local economies by saving and expanding family-supporting jobs.
Raise wages for all workers. Studies show that a large union presence in an industry or region can raise wages even for non-union workers.
Fight for all workers’ health and safety. In 2008 the AFL-CIO and the United Food and Commercial Workers sued to get employers to provide personal protective equipment. Now, workers in hazardous jobs which require safety gear—like hard hats or protective glasses—must be provided this equipment, instead of being asked to buy it themselves.
Advocate for increases in the minimum wage and push for living wage ordinances. Unions have been instrumental in efforts to increase the federal minimum wage, state minimum wages and in the successful living wage movement which has already resulted in over 150 local living wage laws nationwide.
Reduce wage inequality. Unions raise wages the most for low- and middle-wage workers and workers without college degrees.
Interesting but no links, no proof.
BTW some of the above I agree with to a point, the rest (I personally know) is mostly "resume padding" and not completely true so show your proof.
At least you seem like a truthful person. Pick out any of the above you disagree with and we'll discuss it. Here are some links for you to peruse....

Is this enough links for you?
But that's not what happened, is it?Not when they're lies. Suppose I disagreed with you by telling you thatI took your silly poll and cast a vote. Are you saying that wouldn't be lying?
Odd...that sounds more like union behavior. You know, informing on your fellow citizens for the good of the collective.Yeah a real bitch when people actually stand up to all powerfull authority that wants to set all the rules, make all the decisions and be responsible for nothing but profits. Really poor of people to ban together to better themselves and make life good for others, where do you get that right.
You know you should be dam happy to have a job and if they don't want you around and chose to put someone, a family menber or a friend in your place what right do you have to bitch about it.
hey I work hard and if I can suck up and make a case for me to take your job, there isn't any reason that shouldn't happen, besides my brother is playing ball with the owners kids. They own the company's and you invest nothing, so why should you benefit from the success, your just a tool.
How dare you think that your entitled to workers rights.
No, daveman would rather take it up the ass by the company. I'm guessing that he's probably the type to hide behind corners and spy on his fellow workers and reports their activities to the boss.

No from me anyway. But you?

That's because most workers don't need their hands held like you do, Cupcake.But that's not what happened, is it?Not when they're lies. Suppose I disagreed with you by telling you thatI took your silly poll and cast a vote. Are you saying that wouldn't be lying?

There's probably around 1 union worker out of 10 workers.
You lack the horsepower, Tough Boi.Sorry you feel so threatened.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Dumbass.But really, you didn't have to try and lie your way out of the hole you dug yourself.
On another thread, I asked a leftist union drone:
Who has a greater right to work -- an American non-union member, or an illegal alien union member?
He refused to answer, so that made his views pretty clear. Let's see how USMB feels about it.

No, it's not a false dichotomy. The SEIU has admitted they have illegals as members.On another thread, I asked a leftist union drone:

Interesting and utterly false dichotomy. How often do labor unions intentionally recruit illegals, and rather, how often do illegals bother paying union dues and applying to union shops?
Oh, look. Another leftist using homosexuality as an insult. Gasp.That's because most workers don't need their hands held like you do, Cupcake.There's probably around 1 union worker out of 10 workers.

Hmmm....talking about holding my hand and calling me pet names like "boi" and "cupcake". Next thing you know you'll be wanting to do this to me.....

What on earth does that have to do with the question? Nothing! It's just a lame deflection.
The point being should AMERICANS have more of a right to work, than an illegal depending on thier union/non-union status?
It says a lot when a union member won't answer that question.
That's why all states should be right to work.
It's wrong to forced to join a union to work in certain trades.
The unions claim they are there FOR the workers, but if you are FORCED to join a union, is it really for the worker's benefit?
Why should ANYONE in a free country be forced to join ANYTHING?
If you were forced to join a political party, or a church, or even your local PTA, the liberals would HOWL oppression.
But it's okay to be FORCED to join a union to work in certain trades?
That's not America, land of the free. That's not free enterprise, or even capitalism.
THAT'S SOCIALISM.
I find it funny liberals are all about CHOICE when it comes to killing your kids, but giving you a choice on whether or not to join the union(if you want to work in a certain trade)? THAT'S DIFFERENT!
It really tells you all you need to know about liberals, especially the union fascist type liberals.

Uhhhh....nobody ever said an illegal alien has a right to work over an American.
As for the rest of your rediculous post you certainly have a choice. If you don't want to work in a union shop then just walk your ass down the road to another place to work.
There are both Union and Non-Union trades in EVERY state so try to get a clue of what your talking about before you make a fool of yourself again.
Lastly.......
I find it funny NEO-Conservatives are all about forcing THEIR morals on women when it comes to abortion. Unless they are the woman or her doctor they need to just stay the fuck out of it and shut their pie-holes. They don't give two shits about kids AFTER their born so you can spare us the FALSE outrage.

In Michigan to be in Roofing you must be Union, there are some scab shops but they cannot get big contracts, big contracts are the only way to make a living.
In Michigan you cannot even bid on government contracts unless your union, its the law.
Hoffa disappeared in Michigan.

Careful -- any minute now, your fellow leftists will come along and condemn your homophobia.Oh, look. Another leftist using homosexuality as an insult. Gasp.Hmmm....talking about holding my hand and calling me pet names like "boi" and "cupcake". Next thing you know you'll be wanting to do this to me.....
Ya...I know. I should be more sensitive to your feelings.

Can you link that Michigan law? I know that Michigan has a prevailing wage rate law but that doesn't prevent non-union contractors from bidding.
Reagan went to college in Illinois.

Well you must forgive me for not easily believing that illegal aliens would pay union dues, but that said, to answer your question, no, I don't think union membership should mean anything if they do not have a legal right to work in the United States, whether that's through citizenship or a valid green card.
