It does make you wonder how a ‘real’ teacher would deal with a 60+ year-old long-time disabled/retired ‘dues exempt’ USW member.

“Self-employed workers don’t normally unionize. What could a union do, demand that someone pay himself more? Have its members strike against themselves? A union of one makes little sense.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures, but the union movement has taken this saying to a new level. It has reacted to dwindling membership by unionizing recipients of public assistance. In more than a dozen states, unions now extract dues from government benefit checks.”

The majority but not all of TODAY’S Labor Unions Bosses are narrow, self-seeking individuals. They have raised their own wages, shortened their office hours, and provided supplemental benefits to themselves through collective compulsive union dues and fees and without a grievance procedure; they have brought injustice and servitude to the shop floor.

"Union officials may give up many benefits in order to win a forced dues clause in a contract. Forced dues money increases the union’s income and is available for any use union officials may devise. In many cases, millions of dollars collected in the form of forced dues will to go advance political and non-educational programs that teachers do not support.”

“Union officials who demand forced dues, or “agency shop” clauses, claim all teachers get the same benefits and therefore should pay for the union’s representation, regardless of whether it is wanted or not. They will complain about the “burden” of representing teachers who are not actual union members, even though these officials have demanded that their union be the exclusive representative.”
