If you work in the public sector and at the state or local level (including high school or
college) level, whether you can file your own unfair labor practice charges
with a state agency depends on state law.

Choosing to file charges against the union or against your employer is
a personal decision which the Foundation neither recommends nor opposes.
However, if you do decide to file charges with a state agency against
the union or against your employer, please feel free to contact
the Foundation for free legal advice regarding the correct procedures to
use and the best circumstances under which charges may be filed. Advice
will be limited to cases involving abuses of compulsory unionism within
the charter purposes of the Foundation.

* Send an e-mail to the Foundation’s legal
department;
* Fill out our online contact form for free legal
aid;
