You’re right, it does sound like EXTORTION, but if the cafeteria association is union then you pay or you don’t work. The Teamsters did it to me and I had no choice but to join the union at the company I was working for.

Am I understanding this right? Are closed shops still legal in the US? They were abolished 30 years ago here in the UK.
NB - closed shop is the British term for an employer where union membership is mandatory.
