Ok let me step in and see if I can get my nose blooded, using Miami since this is all about right to work vs non right to work states, WHEN you get your contract signed and accepted ALL people at your location (Miami) right to work state will enjoy the bennies of the contract if they join and pay dues or not, all rules applied the same to every "member". They are required to give "equal representation" to ALL paying or not. In a NON right to work NO they can't opt out contract spells out you must be a member in good standing to be employed, which means you paid you fee and dues . "nuff said everybody stay safe
