No one in America can be forced to join a union. At issue is if a non-union member who chooses to work under and benefit from a collective bargaining agreement should be required to pay an agency fee which covers the costs of negotiations and contractual enforcement.
No one can be forced to join or work in a workplace where they gain the increased wages, benefits, and working conditions of a democratically-elected union workplace. They have the right to choose work in the 85% of American workplaces that are wholly non-democratic and financially less rewarding.
Sad to see the anti-union propaganda repeated here.
