I had something similar in my youth when I worked in a supermarket. Everyone had to belong to the union and pay dues although the union did nothing for the young part-timers.
If you have to belong to work there, I'd look for something else.

United Food and Commercial Workers? Sure, I've heard of it. Whether you are required to join the union to work where you are working depends on your state - in many states you don't have that choice.
Whether you should look for another job is something only you can decide. If you are only working part-time, that is a lot of money for the union dues.
Good luck.

Either you joined the union or live in a "closed shop" state that allows the union to rip you off for useless dues even though you're not a member. If you do live in a closed shop state, petition your state legislators to pass a "right to work" law. Closed shop is just WRONG!
