Buffalo, N.Y. (August 15, 2002)<\/b> \u2014 With the help of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, an employee of the Lancaster Steel Service Company filed charges against steelworkers union officials for failing to notify him, and the entire workforce, of their right to refrain from formal union membership. The charges also allege that union officials are illegally forcing these employees to pay full union dues, including dues spent for politics. The employee, David Powers, has filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the United Steelworkers of America (USWA) Local 222-1 and parent United Steel Workers International (USWI). \u201cThis is a clear case of union bosses lying to the workers they claim to represent,\u201d said Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cNo one should be forced to pay compulsory dues to a union, especially when its officials egregiously abuse that federally granted special privilege.\u201d Union officials never notified Powers, and the other employees of their rights. As part of his complaint Powers wants the union to return all of the money that is being illegally seized and used for activities unrelated to collective bargaining. \u201cBecause New Yorkers are not protected by a Right to Work law, union bosses will continue to have the power to shake down and coerce workers to support their pet political causes and other activities,\u201d said Gleason. USWA and USWI union officials\u2019 actions violated the workers\u2019 rights established by the U.S. Supreme Court Communications Workers v. Beck<\/i><\/a> decision. Under Beck<\/i>, a case that Foundation attorneys argued and won, workers who are not protected by a Right to Work law may resign from formal union membership and halt and reclaim the portion of forced union dues spent on politics and other activities unrelated to collective bargaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
