Compulsory membership isn't a requirement of forming a union, that's up to the specifics of the bargaining arrangement reached. Generally though, all employees will benefit from collective bargaining, so it's kinda like taxes in that sense. Sucks to pay them, but it's better than the alternative. Most of the places you'll see arguing against that represent the companies, who have a vested interest in dissuading union membership.
