Most Union Members Believe that Union Bosses Look Out For Themselves

Most public and private sector union members believe that union officials “look out mostly for themselves.”  79% either believed that union bosses were looking out for themselves or were too uncomfortable to say how they felt.  Only 21% think that union officials look out for the “little guy” according to a recent National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation – Frank Luntz poll.   The poll questions did not qualify how many of the respondents were union officials or were related to union officials.

Again, the poll highlights the inherent flaws in forcing someone to pay into a union in order to get or keep a job.  When a majority of members believe that their union officials are looking out for themselves rather than the members, there is a problem with a forced unionism system that exists in 28 U.S. States.

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.
