UAW members can stop paying dues after Michigan's right-to-work law starts applying to the union's members this fall, but few experts expect a rush to leave the union.
By Nathan Bomey
About three dozen UAW workers gathered today in Sterling Heights to get advice on how leave the union or stop paying dues after Michigan's right-to-work law starts applying to the Detroit-based union.
The meeting, the first of two scheduled today, came as the UAW was gearing up to begin the first round of contract bargaining negotiations with General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles since Michigan's right-to-work law took effect in 2013.
It's the first cycle in which UAW members can refuse to pay full union dues and still keep their jobs because the law applies only to newly signed contracts.

You support the drinking of the Kool--Aid of the republican mantra---your a scab----you are being used for the simple fact of greed and to divide and conquer----that's what right to work is all about

What I can't wrap my brain around, is why the average R union member thinks that's a bad thing for him/her. Wouldn't they "want" their work experiences supported with political legislation. Unions exist politically, and they don't get that.
