Forced dues means being required to pay dues to a labor union as a condition of employment. According to Professor Charles Baird:[1]
- the Supreme Court ruled in 1988 "that employees forced to pay union dues under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) do not have to contribute to a union's partisan political activities".
Notably, although many Federal employees are covered by union agreements, they cannot be forced to pay union dues. Instead, they must choose to join.
