This sounds more like a plan to break the union up in to smaller less effective labor representations and to pit labor against each other in smaller groups. The opt out clause means they must opt in or lose their status as a union. This will also isolate workers in to smaller groups with a smaller voice in labor matters. The larger the group of workers a union represents the more powerful they are in worker rights. This is an attempt to create smaller groups of workers that can have representation.

If government is saying this plan is good for them, you can bet it is meant to undermine organized labor in Utah to further demeanor the rights of workers in Utah. To even mention that working conditions are a function of organized labor is deceitful, working conditions are determined by federal labor laws and OSHA. With no organized labor these federal agency's have limited powers and can not effectively enforce federal standards in labor disputes and working conditions. By downsizing and breaking up unions it opens the doors to allow business to illegally employ illegal aliens. BTW, it is illegal to employ illegal aliens under federal law.
