Yes I do
Given that any employee that is part of a union shop will benifit from the work of the union regarding labour contracts (wages and benifits) they should be expected to pay dues in order to pay for the representation the union provides
Do all the employees "enjoy" any percieved benefits from all the union action though? Maybe the employee objects to the union policy, for example a teacher union wants to advocate for test score as a valuation criteria, a majority vote for it, but the minority see it as against its interest. Is it still okay to force people to pay the union as a condition of having a job?
The person is not forced to join a union, he/she chooses to do so when they decide to accept a position at that place of employement (private or public).
I completely reject this arguement. It applies to work place safety as well. A person is never forced to take on a dangerous job, s/he chooses to accept the danger when s/he decides to accept the job. It doesn't mean the existence of danger is alright when something can be done to eliminate it.
