Doesn't this go against the "Doctrine of Exclusive Representation" where a union has to provide services to employees of the bargaining unit irregardless of whether or not they are dues-payers

5 USC 7114(a)(1)

§ 7114. Representation rights and duties.

(a)(1) A labor organization which has been accorded exclusive recognition is the exclusive representative of the employees in the unit it represents and is entitled to act for, and negotiate collective bargaining agreements covering, all employees in the unit. An exclusive representative is responsible for representing the interests of all employees in the unit it represents without discrimination and without regard to labor organization membership.

That's why many times you'll hear a union tell a non-payer that they have to represent that employee but they don't have to try hard or win their case.

If a union rep were to admit that...slam dunk ULP. The FLRA has been known to award BIG damages is those cases.
