Service Employees at Brown Motors in Petoskey, MI, Petition for Vote to Stop Paying Teamster Union Forced Fees

Mechanics, parts department workers, and other auto service-related employees at Brown Motors, a Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep dealer, are seeking a vote to end Teamsters union officials’ ability to demand payment of dues or fees as a condition of employment. Joseph Illes, a mechanic at Brown Motors, submitted a “deauthorization petition” to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with free legal aid from the National Right to Work Foundation. […]

“Mr. Illes and his coworkers at Brown Motors in Petoskey are just the latest example that Michigan’s Right to Work repeal does real harm to the freedom of workers across the state,” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “Workers shouldn’t have to slog through the NLRB’s deauthorization process simply to stop paying fees to a union they don’t support.”
