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.

Under the Election Protection Rule issued by NLRB members appointed during the previous Trump Administration, mere allegations of employer misconduct could not block employees from having the decertification vote they requested.
In addition to helping make the necessities and amenities of life more affordable, Right to Work laws help keep individual and family aggregate state-local tax burdens from spiraling out of control.
