FOlks in a bargaining unit who pay no dues (free riders) don't get any of that. Everyone in the unit gets represented during contract negotiation, and grievances.

Yes - if a minor works for a company that is unionized (as are many grocery stores) they are required to pay union dues whether they join the union or not.

If you think I'm wrong, have your child work at a Kroger grocery store.
