No, even if you agree to engage in illegal behavior, the agreement is not enforceable.
What Makes a Contract Illegal: Everything You Need to KnowIllegal contracts are those that require either party to engage in an illegal activity to fulfill the contract. This would not be considered a legal contract by the court and could not be enforced. Thus, illegal contracts are void and neither party will be entitled to relief if the other party breaks the contract. Sometimes, contract breach is defended in court by asserting that the contract was illegal and thus not enforceable.
Also to make a contract legal, there must be some some consideration for both parties, you get the money, I get the car kind of thing. Apparently the employees here gained no benefit from the corporation for "tithing" to the corporation. A union on the other hand does provide consideration for union dues, things like actual benefits.

Good point...but that does not really answer if or why their agreement was illegal? As I sad people sign employment agreements all the time, agreeing to things like uniforms, discretion where sensitive information is handled, even some moral requirements such as Hobby Lobby? In true extortion deception has to be in play, otherwise it is just a really bad deal.
So what made this agreement illegal? Saying something is illegal, even filing a lawsuit because someone believes it is, does not make it so. Did they cite a legal precedence or statute to look at?
And I would add, "Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before saints? Do you not know that saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
"If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to Judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!"
Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves b cheated?" No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!" 1 Corinthians 6:1-8
When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.
