The rights of workers to pay only that portion of union dues that is used for collective bargaining and contract administration are called "Beck rights."

Beck rights, also known as agency fee payer or religious objector rights, allow workers who are not members of a union but are covered by a collective bargaining agreement to pay only for the costs of representation related to collective bargaining and contract administration, and not for political or other non-representational activities. These rights are named after the Supreme Court case Communication Workers of America v. Beck (1988), which established their legality.
