Public employers must receive the written or electronic consent of each of their employees before deducting union dues or fees from their paycheck. So they should tell you when the dues will be taken out when they get your consent.
There is no governing law that states employees have to join a union. A union is there for better pay and treatment of employees in exchange for a fee or as the union calls it, dues.
The union's contract does not mandate that all employees join the union, but it does mandate that the employees pay union dues.
In some labor agreements, there are arrangements known as "agency shop" agreements, where employees are not required to join the union but must pay union dues or fees. This is often the case in certain public sector jobs or specific industries where unions negotiate contracts on behalf of all employees. While employees can opt out of union membership, they are still financially obligated to support the union's activities that benefit all workers. Such arrangements aim to ensure that the union can effectively represent and negotiate for all employees, regardless of their membership status.
I don't know the answer. Maybe someone else does.
An agency shop is a place of employment in which a union receives dues or the equivalent for all employees excluding management, and includes bargains for all such employees.
The agency-shop policy allows both union and nonunion workers to be employed by an organization, but the nonunion employees must pay a union fee equal to union dues.

If the employer doesn't deduct you union dues, you are still obligated to pay your dues. Read your bylaws and constitution, to determine your particular circumstance (these documents will tell you what your union can do when you do not pay your dues).
You are not forced to pay union dues if your dept. is a union dept. You are automatically in the union and the dues are optional. Contact your union rep and tell him to cancell your dues. I don't know what state you are in but in Ks. you are not forced to pay these dues.
Union dues are a regular payment of money made by members of a union. They are the cost of membership, and fund the various activities which the union engages in.
The dues increase was not that much. You can skip a cup of coffee once every three months!! get real.
