That would part of their contract.
What would be?

A union contract is a written agreement between the employer and the employees that details the terms and benefits in a clear and legally-binding way; one team representing the union members and the other representing the company, not individual contracts with each employee.

A contract cannot be in violation of law.

U.S. Supreme Court decisions are law ... case law, not subject to contracts.
No one is required to belong to a union.
Government workers (Fed., state, etc) are not required to pay union dues (non-government employees might still be required (probably).

The SCOTUS decision addressed government employees only, and avoided private sector employees.

A "right-to-work" state is a state that has enacted legislation that guarantees that no individual can be forced as a condition of employment to join or pay dues or fees to a labor union. States have the right to enact these laws under Section 14(b) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

NH is not (as of now) a RTW state.

At-will employment means you can quit or be fired for almost any reason.
NH is at-will, notwithstanding the SCOTUS decisions.
