What is the name of your state?montana
a car dealership has two locations right across the street from each other. people at both dealerships do the same jobs: sales, parts, service. sales people cannot join the union at either place. managers also cannot be in the union. one location is older than the other and has an open shop policy - you can join the union or not, it is your choice as long as you qualify, but it is more beneficial not to. at the older location no one is in the union. on occasion employees at either location have to work at the other store. the newer location had different owners at one time and they have an existing union contract. after the new owners bought it, they did not honor the existing contract for 6 months until negotiations began for a new contract. only service technicians and partsmen are in the union. both locations are closed on the 4th of july, thanksgiving, xmas day and new years day. the new location is also closed on xmas eve, the day after thanksgiving and several other holidays specified in their contract while the older location is open. the non union employees in the service department at both stores are on salary and are paid similar wages - but at the new location they get more days off with pay than those at the older location. is this permissable? is it ok to treat union employees differently than non union employees?
