[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 787602, member: 18044"] SloppyJoes7, In a Right-To-Work state you do not have to join the Union or pay dues, initiation fees, fines, or other assesments. In a non-RTW state like Colorado you do not have to [U]join[/U] the Union, but you can be required to pay the Union a monthly Agency Fee in lieu of dues. The Agency Fee is usually about 85-90% of what dues would be. That is because the Union has legitimate expenses in representing you, and you must pay your fair share. An Agency Fee Payor is not a Union member. In both RTW and non-RTW states you are treated the same under the law. You get the same contract, pension and health & welfare coverage as if you were a dues paying union member. You can file grievances and must be represented by the Union when the Company calls you in the office. Any Union Steward that would be tempted to under-represent you because of non-membership should realize he would be breaking the Law, and setting a bad precedent concerning the issue being grieved.
