    No union I’ve ever been part of required me being in it in order to work at a place. It was always optional. So strange.

      Are you in a right to work state? That might be why, at least in Oregon when I got a job as a cashier it automatically made me a part of the union.

      Then you are in a “right to work” state (or a government employee since Janus). And FYI, you still benefit from that union as you are still ostensibly part of the same collective bargaining bloc, and under the same contract, as your union coworkers.

      So basically you’re getting the benefits of being in a union without having to pay dues. Sounds great, right?

      Great way to get people to leave unions en masse, and starve them of funding. This kills the union.
