I did not have a choice about being a union or not - if I want this job, I *have* to pay the dues.

Another issue I have with unions in general is that compulsory element. If I'm OK with going it alone on my benefits package, why should I join the union? Why should the other employees get to dictate what I get paid? Why can't I keep my job if I'm willing to take less than they are?
