Instead of the States collecting/deducting Union Dues from Public Employee's to give to the Unions, give the Employee's the money they already earned and let them write the check to the Unions, as a Member.
The Private sector writes their own checks to be a member of an organization or a club, why can't the public sector workers do the same thing?
It would be worth seeing how many public sector workers would actually write that check on their own.
Its being put out there by some States:

The bill "simply states that the state is not going to collect dues. It's as simple as that," the Republican from Jacksonville said after the hearing. "Taxpayers of the state of Florida are basically saying, Let's get out of the business of collecting dues from union members and let the unions do it themselves.' "
Union members "will lose their voice to the legislative process if this bill passes," said Jayne Walker, a supervisor with the Lynx bus system in Orlando and an official of the Amalgamated Transit Workers there.
My question to Jayne Walker ( with the always in the "Red" Lynx Bus System) is; "If the Unions are so good, and the members love them, why would you say you would loose your voice in the legislation process? The Members would "Willingly" write those checks every month, wouldn't they?
It's a human nature thing.
When you have to write that check from your own account, even if you got that pay raise, but you could use the money, would you?.
TO SUMMARIZE:
It's funny how the Union doesn't like that idea, AT ALL! Right now, the Public employee's don't see that money in the Bank, so they think nothing of it. This is where the overall "viability" of a Union could be looked at by the Members. Are they really worth your money this day and age.
