"Under the Taylor Law we lost the right to strike, and we were compelled to represent everybody– even if they opted out of the union, but we got their dues money. After the U.S. Supreme Court Janus decision, we lost the ability for those agency shop fees but still have to represent the people that don't pay dues," Samuelsen said.

“Before deciding on a particular agency, shop around,” says BJ Miller, a physician, co-founder of Mettle Health and co-author of “A Beginner’s Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death.”

Unions also engage in political activities, including candidate endorsements and electioneering, but in an agency shop only fees from members can be used for that.

Right to work gives employers another point to intimidate, coerce, and threaten employees about being part of the union, all of which employers find much more difficult to do in a union or an agency shop.

Recently, in a case involving public employee unions, Justice Samuel Alito digressed from the issue at hand to raise questions about the constitutionality of these agency shop fees, apparently inviting a challenge to Abood.
