We Party Patriots » “Union dues isn’t even the right term here. In Michigan, for instance, you can work in a union shop without joining the union and paying full union dues. The costs of the union’s political activities, its membership events, and more are removed from your dues. You pay a lower fee, because you’re just paying, at least in theory, the cost of the union’s representation activities.”

Don't Drink the Tea. Think With the WE.

Just wanted to clear that up.

Thanks, Ezra.
