The difference is that a private company or state agency can enter into 
a union contract which can restrict the company/agency from hiring 
non-union employess. In Massachusetts, labor law allows any employees to 
refuse to join a union, but the union contract _may_ still force the 
employee to pay dues even if they refuse to join a union.
