Workers Need NLRB That Respects Their Rights
Roughly seven months before the term of rabidly anti-Right to Work NLRB member Lauren McFerran was set to expire, Mr. Biden had nominated her for another five-year term.
Michigan Kroger employee Roger Cornett recently filed a federal unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 876. Cornett is receiving free legal aid from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys.
On April 26, Kroger employee Roger Cornett charged UFCW union officials with illegally seizing union dues from his paycheck. According to his charge, Cornett was presented with a “union membership application” form to complete during an employee orientation. […]
“Union boss pressures will only increase as the repeal of Right to Work nears. Foundation staff attorneys will continue to assist Mr. Cornett in navigating his case,” states Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. “In less than a year, Michigan union bosses will once again have the power to demand workers be terminated merely for refusing to support the union’s agenda with their hard-earned money.”
“The Michigan legislature and Governor Whitmer, both of whom genuflect to union boss lobbyists, made a huge mistake in repealing the Right to Work law previously protecting individual workers. Numerous polls have shown Michiganders’ overwhelming support for the Right to Work law, and yet the Michigan Legislature chose to ignore the will of the people and the rights of workers,” continued Mix. “However, even as the demise of the Right to Work law in Michigan looms, Michigan workers can still reach out to National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys to learn what rights they have to oppose union coercion, and to request help in exercising those rights.”
