The employee-led uproar [1] over forced union dues taken by SEIU Union Local 1000 in California has prompted a top union official to campaign [2] in favor of forced dues.

The article states that a "majority of the employees that attended the event disagreed," citing "non responsiveness" on behalf of the union hierarchy. As we've noted before [3], aside from protecting freedom of choice, Right to Work laws promote accountability of union officials to rank and file workers.

The article also states:

Also, employees were not happy that although state employees recently received a three percent pay raise, the Union countered with a 1.5 union fee increase taking away almost fifty percent of the wage increase.

No wonder these employees aren't happy, almost half of their raise was swallowed up by forced union dues!
