Mobilization Frustrates Forced-Dues Scheme
As soon as Democrat politicians seized full control over Richmond last November, Big Labor bosses began demanding that forced union dues be brought to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
From the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation:
Union officials ignore workers’ repeated requests to resign
Kissimmee, FL (April 19, 2012) – An Osceola Regional Medical Center employee has joined two of her
colleagues and filed a federal charge against a major healthcare union for repeatedly violating federal law by refusing to allow her and her coworkers to exercise their right to refrain from dues-paying union membership under Florida’s popular Right to Work law.
With free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, Laura McDuffie of St. Cloud filed the charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
In December 2011, McDuffie sent a letter notifying Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Healthcare Workers East officials that she was exercising her right to resign from union membership. Instead of acknowledging her request, SEIU officials rejected her letter because it was not “timely.” Moreover, the union continues to confiscate union dues from McDuffie’s paycheck.

“If Michiganders can keep the momentum going this year, they may soon have their Right to Work law back.”
Under current law, union dues are often extracted from Idaho teachers’ paychecks without their active consent.
