You’re exactly as forced as people are forced to have a job.

I believe you are arguing I could always choose not to work. I wish to work for an employer and the employer wishes to work with me. In this hypothetical there is required membership with an unrelated party I do not wish to associate with.

If I wanted to go to a coffee shop and that shop wanted to serve me coffee but the mafia is standing outside saying I have to pay them before I can go in, they are in fact forcing me to pay or turn away.

The party’s not unrelated.

[throwawa14223]

Yes, in both cases.

[wharvle]

Are boards of directors unrelated parties you’re forced to associate with if you don’t want to severely limit your employment options?

[throwawa14223]

The people the owners of the company have selected to run the company on their behalf are directly related to a company. I fail to see the similarity.

It’s a legally required body for many companies. It’s being imposed by law. Same as required unions would be.
