I will tell you what else happens with those dues that electricians pay, and I speak first hand, my son is an electrician.
Companies put in bids to win jobs. The union dues are used to subsidize ridiculously low bids, in an effort to put non unionized companies out of business.

This is one of my many problems with the amount of power that the Unions have in the work place.
Unions shouldn't be subsidizing and paying for competitive advantages.
The whole certification process and the use of seeding is oderous at best.
Organizations can't really negotiate deals with the more powerfull unions in good faith because of the spectre of strikes and walkouts. Their only recourse is to fire everyone and close their doors.
With Unions there is no give and take, and we're seeing that with the CAW.
I think in a recession economy, the right to strike needs to be recinded for the good of the economy and the work force.
