It is a good question. Should the government require an organization to provide services and deny them the right to collect payment for those services. Well, that is what right-to-work states do with their unions. The government requires that the union provide the same service for all employees covered by the union contract, even those who are not willing to join the union and pay dues. Of course being Americans we believe we should get something for nothing and will not join the union and pay dues. But of course we are the first to go running to the union if we have a problem. Just so you know, I wasn't a union member, I actually helped negotiate contracts on management side as well as administrate contracts from management side. Yet, I can understand why unions were formed and why in today's market they are probably needed more than ever.
