Union members don't HAVE to join the union, and thus don't HAVE to contribute. Wages that are contributed are thus voluntary. Cities already do their best to fight to pay nothing, and they break the law and abuse the rights of workers, which is why unions are necessary. How else could a firefighter with a college degree and various accompanying certifications be paid only $7.00/hr? Imagine what they'd be paid without a union! Remember that the larger sums for these jobs are either the highest end, or an average, and that most of the smaller municipalities throughout Ohio pay far far less than what you see in the news.
