"Could you imagine the kind of ruckus it would cause if they pulled the same thing with parking. As in you are told that you either get a parking permit for X dollars or you don't get a parking permit but still pay X dollars for parking anyway. Now most people need and do purchase parking permits, but most would also be offended that they were being forced into paying for something with no choice whatsoever." Not to feed the flames, but that is kind of a poor analogy. The reason you still have to pay the dues, even if you decide to not be a member is because you are afforded the same benefits that the union has fought and negotiated for. A better analogy would be that you still get to park in the ramp and you still pay for the privilege, but you just don't have the sticker. -Jeff
