I think California has approximately 250,000 state employees. Their union is huge and powerful. Whether or not you want to belong to the union doesn't matter - THEY FORCE YOU TO. If you jump a bunch of hoops, you can get the amount they take out reduced, but you can't opt out. Help! We need right to work laws here!!!
