This is the second time the NLRB has issued a formal complaint against SEIU Local 200 in the past year. Under the NLRB\u2019s original settlement, issued in November, SEIU Local 200 officials were ordered to refund the employees\u2019 dues and fees that were used for non-representational purposes. Union officials disregarded the agreement and continued illegally seizing workers\u2019 dues to pay for union politics. \u201cWhat incredible arrogance. These union officials just thumbed their noses at the government\u2019s prosecutors and the employees they claim to represent,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cThe actions of SEIU officials suggest that they will do virtually anything to keep money flowing into their political operations.\u201d As part of the second settlement, the NLRB has also mandated the union must post a notice alerting workers and employees of the Marsellus Casket Company of their right to refrain from formal union membership and the payment of full union dues. The settlement also requires SEIU union officials to notify objecting workers what percentage of their dues is being used to fund non-representational activities, including political activities. Under law, an employee may resign from formal union membership, pay a reduced fee, and further challenge the veracity of the union\u2019s figures. The case was originally filed in July 2001 by Foundation attorneys for three company employees, Mark L. Miller, Scott Bayer, and David Sprague. SEIU officials violated the workers\u2019 rights established by the U.S. Supreme Court <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Beck\"><i>Communications Workers v. Beck<\/i><\/a> decision. Under <i>Beck<\/i>, a case that Foundation attorneys argued and won, workers may halt and reclaim forced union dues spent on politics and other activities unrelated to collective bargaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SYRACUSE, N.Y.
