If I never asked for the union or their collective bargaining, then yes. It's like cleaning my windows when I never asked you to and then demanding cash for it.

No, it's not like that at all. You are legally allowed to opt out of paying union dues.

So you'll pay 'fees' instead of 'dues'. Pretty meaningless difference isn't it?
