I’m voting to close this question because it is about (regional) law, not the discipline of economics.

(To my knowledge the answer in some US states is "no".)

Sorry, it strikes my that I may have misunderstood your question: are you asking if the union negotiated pay raise also legally applies to non-union workers, or if the wages of non-union workers are also affected for non-legal reasons? (e.g., the company raises them voluntarily because it is afraid about these workers joining the union)

I'm asking whether negotiated improvements to pay and/or conditions are handed to non-union members who effectively played no part in the negotiation

Suppose the union negotiates a $1/hour raise for union employees, and the company, fearing further unionization raises the wage of non-union employees by 50 cents/hour. Do you consider this to be an instance where "negotiated improvements to pay and/or conditions are handed to non-union members"?

When a union negotiates a pay rise, do non-union workers also get that pay rise?
