Forced Dues Dust Up

The Sacramento Bee says [1] that the 87,000 member SEIU Local 1000 behemoth faces an internal battle in one of its bargaining units over forcing employees to pay dues.

If they are successful, the "fair share" employees, who are not union members but are required to pay fees every month for representation services they receive from SEIU 1000, won't have to pay the money anymore.

"Fair share" is a euphemism union officials use when they mean forced union dues. Not only that, but it is doubly offensive to employees since not every one of them necessarily wants to be subject to or benefits from union monopoly barganining.
