Big Labor Operative Out at MWAA

Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell is putting the interests of taxpayers first by firing a labor union activists from the board of directors of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA).    

Dennis Martire, 48, a union boss from the corrupt the Laborers international Union of North America (LiUNA) was using his position to promote union-only contracting in the procurement process. This was a clear conflict of interest.   

Toll Roads News reports “Martire was the leading advocate on the MWAA board of defying Virginia law on behalf of his union and others. As the Washington Post rather mildly opined: “Mr Martire, an official with the Laborers’ International Union of North America, should have had the common sense to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest that his involvement created.”  

He doesn’t have to worry about that now.

Support For Ending Forced-Dues Escalating

Thanks largely to aggressive grass-roots activism by members of the National Right to Work Committee, the number of congressional cosponsors of the forced-dues repeal legislation introduced in the U.S. House and Senate early this year continues to rise. S.525 and H.R.2571, respectively introduced early in the 2019-20 Congress by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), had a combined total of nearly 100 sponsors as this Newsletter went to press in early October. These essentially identical bills would not add a single word to federal labor law. Instead, they would simply repeal the current provisions in the federal code that authorize and promote the termination of employees for refusal to pay dues or fees to an unwanted union.
