Your position here is like a RTW person arguing they want to do it for the employees benefit. Paying a Union due is a mandatory hardship placed on the employee. If it wasn't a hardship you wouldn't be opposed to RTW legislation as Union membership would only be positive and no one would ever choose not to join.
So is disingenuous to say that the new employee has a choice. They do not. Where you work is not a choice for many people.
It is a neccessary hardship to realize the benefits of unionization but don't pretend that an x% fee on wages isn't a hardship.
