You are being pedantic.
There is very little difference between being forced to join a union and being forced in an agency model.
They are basically the same thing, and are different in name only.
You still have to pay the same fees. You are still subject to the same rules. You are still subject to their collective bargaining agreement and are disallowed from negotiating on your own.
There are close to zero defacto differences between the two, even if you give it a different name.
- wahern 8y agoIn the interest of full disclosure, here's an example structure from the University of California: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/labor/fees-chart.html https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/labor/fees-chart.ht... Those agency fees, paid in lieu of membership dues (i.e. mutually exclusive), are indeed much higher than I expected. I've had professional experience with police unions, and the fee structure for campus police is indeed much more like what I was familiar with, where the agency fee is substantially less than the membership due.
