“The lawsuit, which seeks both a temporary and permanent blocking of the law, argues that it is unconstitutional because it requires unions to act on behalf of workers who are no longer required to pay union dues, and therefore receive an unfair benefit.”
Why would the unions have to act on their behalf? If the argument is the worker benefits from the union activity, it could be claimed I benefit from a nearby park donated to the city by a civic organization, but I don’t have to belong and pay dues to that organization in order to enjoy the park.
Exactly. Here I always thought employment benefits came from the employer, and should be gained based on the employee’s performance.
