Answer: You cannot be required to be a union member, but you may be required to pay union fees.    Employment relations for employees in the railway and airline industries are covered by the Railway   Labor Act (RLA). Railway and airline employees are not protected by state Right to Work laws.    Under the RLA, you cannot be required to be a member of a union or pay it any monies as a condition of employment unless the collective bargaining agreement between your employer and your union contains a provision requiring all employees to either join the union or pay union fees.   Even if there is such a provision in the agreement, the most that can be required of you is to pay the union fees (generally called an &quot;agency fee&quot;)."}
