UFCW Union Under Fire for Religious Discrimination Toward Teenage Boy
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has accused the United Food and Commercial Workers Union of discriminating against a Giant Eagle employee who refused to join the union because he said it violated his religious beliefs. […]
According to the LDF, Leonatti claims that officials from UFCW Local 1776-Keystone State refused to consider his religious beliefs after he expressed religious objections to joining and paying dues to the union and subjected him to a “religion test” to determine whether his religious beliefs count. […]
“Union bosses’ attempt to coerce a high schooler to violate his religious beliefs is unconscionable, and illegal,” said Mark Mix, president of the LDF. “Regardless of their particular reasons for not wanting to affiliate with a union, no employee’s job should hinge on whether he or she pays dues to a private organization.”
