Union dues are used to finance the running of the union's business.
If you are represented by a union and live in one of 28 Non-Right-to-Work States, a union can order you to be fired from your job if there is a union (income) security clause in its contract.
A union does NOT have to represent you to your liking and, in fact, can legally refuse to process your complaint
As a union member, if you violate a union's rules (known as the union constitution), you can be placed on trial by the union.
If you are found guilty at a union trial, the union can suspend your membership, expel you from the union, or fine you money.
