It looks like this story is a bit murkier than originally reported. Apparently what actually happened was the Alabama workers were required to sign paperwork that affiliated them with a union, which they initially refused to do. While they were mulling it over, Seaside got help from other (presumably unionized) workers, and the Alabama crews moved on.
So closed-shop rules didn’t prevent Seaside from getting help, they just delayed it from getting help.
It certainly doesn't seem to be debunked at all.
Those Alabama crews who wouldn't agree to signing the paperwork affiliating them with the union, went to Staten Island where they were happy to accept their help.
