Right now any union member who disapproves of having his/her dues go to political action can opt out. The default state is in, but not only can they opt out, the option is on every dues certificate they fill out.
This, however, was an opt in, and each and every union member would have to do so, and the unions would have to keep records, to prove that each of them had done so.
The teacher one was worse: One of the grounds for dismissal was, "Knowing membership in the Communist Party."
