When I was a union apprentice a long time ago this wasn't MANDATORY. However, you were bullied into paying it. Myself and one journeyman at my shop refused to sign the authorization letter when it was first presented to us. The next day our local's business manager showed up at our shop and berated and threatened us with a "YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!" Then he turns to me and says "You, you're still an apprentice. I own your arse".


I could be mistaken, but I believe this ruling is only applicable to public sector unions.

The private sector can still have agency shops where agency fees are required.

When I was in the IBEW it wasn't required. That was about 20 years ago though. This being mandatory seems like an obvious civil liberties violation but there's no way the ACLU would ever call out any unions.
