A ‘Duty to Bargain’ Over Employees’ Freedom?!
"Vullo makes it clear that using the threat of federal prosecution to force any employer to put employees’ Right to Work on the bargaining table violates the First Amendment.”
Foundation Acts to Stop Illegal Forced Dues
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation issued a news release announcing parallel federal lawsuits concerning illegal forced dues:
With free legal aid from the National Right to Work Foundation, three UPS employees in Kentucky and two UPS employees in Ohio filed federal lawsuits Friday and Monday, respectively, against national and local Teamsters officials for illegal extraction of forced union dues.
In the lawsuits, the nonmember employees claim that the national and local unions breached their duty of fair representation and violated the employees’ First and Fifth Amendment rights by charging and collecting fees used for organizing nonunion workers throughout the United States and financing a members-only “Strike and Defense Fund.” . . .
