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.”
TWU Officials Lose $5.1 Million in Lawsuit Due to Refusing to Accommodate Southwest Employee’s Religious Rights
A jury found the Transportation Workers Union of America Local 556 guilty of discriminating against Southwest Airlines employee Charlene Carter. Carter, who is against abortion for religious reasons, spoke out against the fact that her dues money was going toward supporting Planned Parenthood. She was then promptly fired, leading to the religious discrimination lawsuit which she has now won.
In Law360, National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation Vice-President Patrick Semmens, shares his statement:
“This is a tremendous victory for Charlene Carter, who has been fighting for years for justice following her illegal termination at the hands of TWU union bosses and Southwest officials who went along with the union’s attempt to have her fired,” he said. “The National Right to Work Foundation exists to help individuals like Charlene stand up to union bullies, and we’re proud to have helped win this verdict.”
