I was watching the latest video by DP and he was telling the West pilots that if they didn't pay their union dues that the USAPA would force the company to fire those nonpaying dues pilots.
Can this legally happen? US is based in AZ which is a right to work state so they cannot force you to pay union dues but the union must represent you.
Also Executive order 12800 signed by Bush in April 1992 &
Executive order 13201 signed by W. Bush in February 2001 reinstated E.O. 12800.

Can the company or USAPA oust a pilot for not paying union dues even if the pilot feels that union does not represent him? Can he sue the union in state and/or federal court and win?
Can the pilot sue the airline and win? That would be an interesting case and if I were the company I would not want to get involved in that fight.
It's interesting that a union can have an employee fired for not paying dues. I can see not reprsenting the worker, but not having that worker fired.
