They could negotiate for it with the employer, but if the employer doesn't allow for the dues to be mandatory then the union can't mandate it. The dues come out of the paycheck, usually, so it would require the employer to agree to it for this to occur.

This is why I say it is a free market thing. The employer has to make the decision for it. They can't deny a union the right to form, but they don't have to mandate dues to be paid.

Right so my question is if the employer agrees to withhold dues for those in the union, but  does not mandate that people have to pay dues, does that mean the person doesn't have to pay dues?  If so I don't understand the need for right to work laws.
