Don Zueger, an employee with Boeing, filed a lawsuit against International Association of Machinists (IAM) after being forced to pay dues, despite not being a member of the union. In The Center Square, National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix is quoted:
“Mr. Zueger’s quick victory in this case likely indicates IAM union bosses had no confidence that their ‘averaging’ dues scheme would survive any serious judicial inspection,” said National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix in a statement.
He added, “This scheme to artificially manipulate forced fees calculations is part of the IAM’s nationwide policy, so almost certainly other workers in Seattle and across the country are also being subjected to the same illegal calculations.”
