my union (UFCW) dues have two parts. Thw actual dues which are mandatory for membership, Ant the politcal funds part,which is optional, and I can specify how much I want to pay.
It has been that way for many years, and I doubt my Union is unigue in that regard.
So nobody is being forced to support politics they may not agree with.
I myself am a Republican. I give a small amount... I do this as I believe that the presence of this money going to primarily democrats, helps to keep some republicans union friendly.
It isn't that way in the UAW. The only way you can get out of paying the political part of your dues is to become a Beck Objector. You still have to pay most of your dues but you can't vote in any election. You are still paying most of your dues but have no voice in anything that happens.
