A CBA under federal rules (ie RLA) supersedes state law in this case. Basically assumption is if employees didn't want to pay for uniforms they wouldn't have agreed to it in the CBA.
Example, at SKW, no union, no CBA, so company has to pay for uniforms for CA employees (so they do that for everyone). But that's probably not the smartest way to get the company to buy your uniforms...
