Forced dues means being required to pay dues to a labor union as a condition of employment. According to Professor Charles Baird:[1]

  • ... a 1988 U.S. Supreme Court opinion, Communications Workers of America v. Beck, in which the Court declared that employees forced to pay union dues under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) do not have to contribute to a union's partisan political activities
