I'm sure Martin's "rugged individualism" will bring him the results he so richly deserves -- unconstrained by the limits of collective bargaining and such socialist constructs as seniority systems.

However it is unconstitutional for the federal govt to have anything to do with labor, including the NLRB.
On a state level that depends on state Constitutions of course.
It is also antithetical to freedom to be forced to join a union in order to have a job. If an employer wants to only hire from a union that should be the employer's choice. If an employer doesn't want a union at their location that should be their choice too. It's about freedom.
2. US Flag carriers don't much care about State law as it relates to unions. They follow Federal law.
3. Your knowledge of the Constitution and the NLRB is lacking. The Federal government, specifically the executive branch appoints those individuals it feels represents their values and expectations to the NLRB. Not much different than appointing justices to the Supreme Court. The Executive branch uses the DoL and the DoJ to enact policy through the NLRB when it doesn't get what it wants through the legislative branch.

If you wish to make a living as a lawn care professional that can be pretty private. But, if you are in the airline business, expect allot of scrutiny, by your employer, by your fellow pilots, and by your union, and by the FAA.

Martin, the collective experience, knowledge, and insight of the pilots you vehemently disagree with on this forum probably runs over a thousand years of professional flying, hundreds of thousands of flight hours, and dozens of drawn out contract negotiations (and a few strikes) resulting in the industry that you very much desire to join today.

It will depend on the supply of available labor.

If you don't like the agreement, you can resign, or you can run for union office to change the terms and provide your own vision of leadership. You can vote yes, or no. But, in the end we have to live with the result. The status quo is already fully explained. If that doesn't make sense to you, I would advise some course-work in labor law, collective bargaining, and/or industrial law.
You may find the commerce clause particularly insightful.
