It's not the unions dictating behaviour. It's the company breaking the contract that says they will hire only union members. The union is only trying to ensure that the contract is enforced.
Some union members and even some unions go too far by taking that enforcement into their own hands. Instead, they should be taking that to the proper authorities and letting those authorities deal with it. Which is exactly what they're doing with this call for explicit legislation.
