““There is, of course, a general national policy against judicial interference in the internal affairs of unions. [Citations.] But that general policy is subject to important exception in specific areas in which Congress has found that the interests of individual members need special protection against the danger of overreaching by entrenched union leadership. [Citations.] The subject of dues increases is such an area.” Rota, 489 F.2d at 1003 .”
