Virtual isn't the same as free.

Nobody knows what the union dues will be if the union wins, but they will not be 500 per month. It might be a fair guess that they're 500 per year. About 20 per check if you get paid biweekly. The dues will be decided on by union members through some kind of democratic process.

Union dues are very typically 1 to 1.5% of pay.
