(June 25, 2001)<\/b> &#8212; Former \u201cBrady Bunch\u201d star Barry Williams today filed federal unfair labor practice charges against Actors Equity Association (AEA) union officials for illegally fining him $52,000 after he resigned from the union to star in a non-Equity production of \u201cThe Sound of Music.\u201d Williams, with the assistance of National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys, filed the charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in New York because AEA union officials failed to inform him of his right to not join the union and imposed an exorbitant fine.  Last year, union officials launched a nationwide media campaign to smear Williams in each city in which the production appeared. As part of that campaign, union militants picketed outside theaters during the musical, carrying signs and handing out fliers proclaiming \u201cGreg Brady is a Scab\u201d while chanting slogans such as \u201cwho let the scabs out.\u201d \u201cIn an attempt to make actors think twice about exercising their rights, AEA union bullies are making an example of Barry Williams,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:rlw@nrtw.org\">Randy Wanke<\/a>, Director of Legal Information for the National Right to Work Foundation. AEA union officials illegally enforced so-called union \u201cdiscipline\u201d against Williams, claiming that he violated AEA union bylaws by appearing in a production that had not agreed to force employees to work under union contract. Williams cannot be lawfully fined because he resigned his AEA union membership (and thereby was no longer subject to union rules) before signing a contract to work on the production &#8212; his right under the U.S. Supreme Court decision in <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#PatternMakers\"><i>Patternmakers v. NLRB<\/i><\/a>. In <i>Patternmakers<\/i>, the High Court ruled workers may resign their full, formal union membership immediately and without restrictions or retaliation. Once an employee becomes a non-member, union officials have no legal basis for enforcing union \u00abdiscipline.\u00bb  Foundation attorneys are seeking an order that the fine is unenforceable and that the union retract it. Williams gained fame as Greg Brady, the oldest son on the 70\u2019s television show \u201cThe Brady Bunch.\u201d Subsequently he has starred in more than 50 stage productions including \u201cVictor Victoria,\u201d \u201cThe Music Man,\u201d \u201cRomance\/Romance,\u201d \u201cMan of LaMancha,\u201d \u201cGuys and Dolls,\u201d and \u201cCity of Angels.\u201d He wrote the best-selling book \u201cGrowing Up Brady,\u201d which he recently produced as a movie for NBC. Additionally, Williams headlines in various venues in Las Vegas, for corporations, and on cruise lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York, N.Y.
