Why should a union be forced to represent someone and they not pay for the cost of the representation?
That is why there are dues objectors.
When I was a member of the UAW and the BCTGM, the union was forced by law to represent employees who werent members, is that fair?
Well maybe you shouldn't have paid for something you could have for free. My neighborhood has a trash newspaper published every week filled with ads for restaurants and realtors and they expect "voluntary subscribers" yet it's still into box every week and it goes straight to the recycling bin.
The same reason certain ethnic and racial groups are the beneficiary of affirmative action policies.
Same reason the progressive tax rate structure exists.
The world is a very unfair place, get over it and move on. Unions still exist in RTW. The IAM has many members in KS and TX, both RTW states. They still fly around on the Lear and enjoy their junkets so what's the big deal? Besides isn't the MAPP meant to incentive IAM membership with Groupon like discounts? That's what the founder of the program said in the video:
