The unions agreed to this in exchange for being the only "workers representative" at the table with management.  Also, the union thought (probably correctly) that non-union workers would join, when the benefits of union membership became apparent. Now that the benefit of union membership is mostly non-existent, especially for right-leaning voters, the unions are scratching and clawing to retain any money they can get. If that means forcibly deducting money from paychecks, they will do it.</blockquote>
