I work for the county government, and I am changed 80% of dues for regular union members, but I don't want to be part of the union at all, and not pay any dues what so ever. I love in California, but unsure on the laws behind it.

There is no such thing as Closed Shops since Congress over road Truman's veto of the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947. There are Union Shops which is where non-members benefit from the CBA and representation while only paying partial dues.
The Union has to represent you whether they want to or not; it's only fair that you contribute to their expenses. You have a higher wage and someone on your side if it comes down to you verses the employer.
If you don't want anything to do with the Union; get a different job or move to a "right to work" state (aka right-to-beg).

Generally if your job is a union job it's a closed shop. You'll pay dues or you won't work there.

You can do, but be prepared for the rest of the Unionised workers to be not pleased and show some reaction ~~
