If any of you are forced into a union like I am, I highly suggest being a Beck Objector. If you are one, you will only have to pay the union for what is costs to negotiate your contract. They are even responsible for giving you an itemized list of the expenditures to do so. That way none of your money is being funneled into the socialist/commie of Amerika fund.
You must be a brave person. I've heard that Beck objectors often get stiff resistance. According to the AFL-CIO:
Workers who exercise this option withdraw their financial support for all other regular union programs, such as legislative lobbying, political expenditures and community and charitable activities. These nonmembers continue to benefit from all these programs, but they shift a greater burden onto union members to pay for them.
