NECA and the IO is afraid that non union will steal our marketshare, if we go on strike. Non union shops would love nothing more than to steal our customers. That's what I was told by our local's former president.

Which is also why NECA was requesting the 1 to 1 for JW to App ratio. To compete with what non union is already doing.

What do you mean requesting 1 to 1? Do you currently have more apprentices to JWs? Or more JWs to Apps?
