Right to Work Foundation Issues Special Legal Notice to Alabama Mercedes Employees
Springfield, VA (September 18, 2014) – The National Right to Work Foundation has issued a special legal notice regarding Vance, Alabama Mercedes-Benz workers targeted by United Auto Workers (UAW) union officials for unionization. The notice can be viewed here: https://www.nrtw.org/en/special-notice-alabama-mercedes-benz.
UAW union officials are waging an aggressive unionization campaign targeting Mercedes-Benz workers at the Vance plant. The Foundation’s notice debunks UAW union boss Dennis Williams’s claims that Mercedes-Benz workers must unionize with the UAW union in order to discuss wages and working conditions with their employer. The notice informs workers about what they can legally do if they oppose, or change their minds about their support of, the unionization scheme.
The notice also addresses workers’ legal rights during a card check unionization campaign, similar to what UAW union officials attempted in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in case UAW union organizers resort to the coercive unionization tactic.
«Mercedes-Benz workers can discuss their work with their employer without UAW unionization,» said Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation. «UAW union officials are misleading workers into thinking that they have no choice but to unionize in order to have a voice in the workplace.»
«National Right to Work attorneys have assisted workers across the country who have suffered the consequences of these top-down organizing campaigns designed by UAW union officials, most recently in Chattanooga,» added Mix. «Workers who feel they are being unfairly pressured when deciding whether or not to associate with the UAW union may request free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys by calling 1-800-336-3600 or contacting us on the Foundation’s website at www.nrtw.org.»
Right to Work Foundation Issues Special Legal Notice to Chattanooga Volkswagen Employees
Springfield, VA (September 5, 2013) – The National Right to Work Foundation has issued a special legal notice regarding Chattanooga, Tennessee Volkswagen AG (VOW.DE) workers targeted by United Auto Workers (UAW) union officials for unionization. The notice can be viewed here: https://www.nrtw.org/en/vw-chattanooga.
Recent media reports suggest that Volkswagen and UAW union officials are in talks about unionization of the VW workers at the Chattanooga plant. The Foundation’s notice debunks UAW union boss Bob King’s remarks that Volkswagen workers must unionize with the UAW union in order to discuss wages and working conditions with their employer. The notice also informs workers about what they can legally do if they oppose, or change their minds about their support of, the unionization scheme.
«Volkswagen workers can discuss their work with their employer without UAW unionization,» said Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation. «The UAW’s campaign of misrepresentation is meant only to misinform workers into thinking that they have no choice but to unionize.»
«National Right to Work attorneys have assisted workers across the country who have suffered the consequences of these top-down organizing campaigns designed by UAW union officials,» added Mix. «Workers who feel they are being unfairly pressured when deciding whether or not to associate with the UAW union may request free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys by calling 1-800-336-3600 or contacting us on the Foundation’s website at www.nrtw.org.»
