Federal labor laws have, since the 1930s, permitted and encouraged the growth of compulsory unionism arrangements between union officials and employers, forcing millions of employees to pay dues to unions as a condition of employment. <\/p>\n<p>Workers subject to these forced unionism schemes have been denied their freedom of choice as to joining and financially supporting a labor union.The power to compel employees to financially support a labor union is still granted to union officials by federal law in 26 states. In these states that have not yet passed a Right to Work law, this power has led to abuses of workers&#8217; human rights and civil liberties.
