Which is why unions are quickly becoming the most despised organizations in America. They thug people into paying union dues against their will. They're nothing but low life extortionists.
What the union did was send out letters which were tossed into the trash as junk mail. They weren’t union members or interested in union business so they tossed the letters.
It was quickly apparent that the union couldn’t represent them if the wanted to. After all, they are basically contractors so they’re both management and labor. The union simply planned to milk them for dues and shove them aside.
The dues they would have collected came out to around $20 million per year. Now the victims are forced to sue to get their money back. Fortunately the whole thing didn’t even last a year.
