Why should the union be focred to represent anyone who is not paying dues would be a better question, no? Absolutely, membership to unions should be voluntary. Why shouldnt the union have say in who’s covered and who is not. Its A NO BRAINER FOR ME, you either pay your dues or you’re not covered. That's already the way it is. It's just that your unions choose to negotiate otherwise: In 1938, the Supreme Court expressly upheld union’s ability to negotiate only on behalf of members. As William Gould, chairman of the NLRB under President Clinton, wrote, “the law now permits members-only bargaining for employees†— unions can exclude non-members from their contracts.They rarely do. Instead, unions typically negotiate as “exclusive bargaining representatives.†That lets them negotiate on behalf of all employees at a company, whether or not those workers want their representation. In that case, the law does require unions to bargain fairly. They cannot negotiate one wage for union members and the minimum wage for everyone else.Unions voluntarily represent all workers because it lets them get a better contract for their supporters. Imagine a seniority system that only covered union members. The most productive workers would negotiate separately for performance pay and promotions. That would mean more money for them — and less money and fewer positions available for those on the seniority scale. Unions want to their contracts to apply to all workers, especially those they hold back.That is very different from unions being required to represent everyone. It also makes the case for forcing workers to pay dues a lot weaker. It looks your argument should be with your union leaders since they choose to represent non union employees because they feel it's to their advantage, and yours. Not the non members.
