The solution for Mr. Greene and others is to respectfully inform the union of your intentions and then stop paying dues. They'll squawk about it and ultimately drop you from the rolls.

Assuming they can stop the deductions. That’s part of the problem in some states/areas...the Union directs the deductions.

Heck in some places, unions still lay taxes upon people that aren’t even members.

Yeah, good luck stopping your due payments. I’ve read stories where, even when there is no auto-deduct, Unions will report you to a credit bureau and ruin your credit if you stop paying dues.

Unions are a scam. When I was a lot younger, I decided to work a summer job packing trucks at UPS. In order to get a job there, you *had* to join the teamsters union. Here’s the best part: they front-loaded a whole year’s worth of union dues into, like, your first 4 paychecks. They knew full when that the truck loaders had very high turnover rates. So, every couple of months, they got another YEAR’S worth of dues from the fresh batch of truck loaders that came through.

There was, of course, no way to get reimbursed for the dues already paid.
