New York public employees desperately need Right to Work protections
Rochester, NY (April 24, 2012) – Four Monroe County probation officers have won relief in their protracted federal legal battle against two government unions for violating their First Amendment rights.
The four officers, led by David Scheffer, filed the suit with free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation attorneys.
The probation officers sued Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) union and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union for deliberately violating their First Amendment rights by seizing forced union dues from their paychecks for illegal union expenditures. The officers charged that union officials were spending their forced dues on union organizing drives, despite the officers’ objections.

With President Trump’s sharp rollback of union monopoly bargaining in federal workplaces in effect, federal taxpayers have reportedly been getting better services while saving tens of billions of dollars in payroll costs.
Candidate Trump wisely refused to give in to Mr. O’Brien’s anti-Right to Work cajoling, and by the Teamster hierarchy’s own account this is the reason he never received the union’s endorsement, despite internal polling that showed Teamster members lopsidedly preferred him in the general election.
