That's pretty dictatorial, the union and the workers don't own the company, yet they can dictate who can work there by forcing you to accept union membership in order to make a living.
I guess the question is, what if I work for CP and the CUPW and I'm jewish, and I don't want to work for a union that's basically been an Anti-Israel Lobby Group. Should I be forced to give up my income and a job that I've been with for the last x number of years because while I love my job, my union doesn't represent me?
That's pretty dictatorial?
I know its an extreme example. But frankly every employee should have the right to opt out if they don't feel that the union represents them or their interests and not have to quit my job or feel threatened in it by a bunch of angry union workers.
