There are variations among the states on the level of prohibition on the requirements of union membership and dues mandated. None of these, however, interfere with the basic Constitutional right of "freedom to contract." A contract can be formed between consenting parties on just about any conceivable subject, provided it does not violate public policy or any laws (also cannot be unconscionable). Also required is a benefit to both sides with mutual voluntary consent.

You are incorrect. Look at the precedent setting case of flex jet, the court found that they had no claim whatsoever to a contractual agreement. http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-ne...aining-lawsuit
These contracts are completely unenforceable from a legal standpoint.
