Tell that to anyone whose workplace unionizes against their wishes and lives in a "closed shop" state. (Yes, closed shops are illegal, but agency fees lead to essentially the same thing).
Being forced to pay a fee to a union that does not represent you and that you did not vote to join is absolute bullshit.
- 49531 8y agoYou can say that about any job, union or non union. You don't join a job not knowing it's a union job. But in a non union workplace, if you don't like how things are you can change them. Good luck doing that without a union.
- alasdair_ 8y agoI am talking about places that turn into union jobs after you have been there a few years.
