All these “opt-out” laws undermine the entire foundation of how unions function. If you don’t want to be in the union, or pay the dues associated with that union…go find a non-union job. Working within a union and expecting to benefit from the collective bargaining agreement that union fought for, without contributing to the functioning cost of that union, just makes you a scab.

Plus, what incentive do you have to join if you get the benefits without paying? No one would join, the union gets smaller and smaller, then it disappears. I’m sure that’s part of the actual intention.
