Dues still need to be paid. All the bill does is remove it from the list of automatic deductions. All union funding comes from the union members, NOT the taxpayers.
You need to go read the bill again. Not only does it remove the automatic deductions but it also states that an employee has the right to refrain from paying dues while still remaining part of the collective bargaining agreement. This means that they do not have to pay dues if they do not want to. While you are correct in the statement saying that union funding comes from union members, you are not correct in saying it does not come from the tax payers because it is the tax payers who are paying the union members.
