But how can the union charge a free citizen a fee like that, unless  
the government supports it?

If I apply for a government job, what gives a union the right to  
charge me union fees?

It's constitutionally illegal for any government in the USA to do  
anything like that, and I don't see how it could possibly happen  
otherwise.

Then again, most labor laws and related seem to be illegal in the  
first place.

Certainly EOE and laws like that are unconstitutional.
