Salt Lake City, Utah (December 10, 2002)<\/b> \u2013 The following is a statement of Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, the organization that provided free legal aid to Utah public employees attempting to limit the infringement of their rights under government-imposed compulsory unionism. \u201cThis week\u2019s ruling by the Third District Court to uphold the core of Utah\u2019s recently enacted \u201cVoluntary Contributions Act\u201d (VCA) gives union members a measure of comfort that they have a right to object to the portion of their union dues spent for politics and other non-collective bargaining activity. The court relied on a long line of Foundation-won Supreme Court cases that limit the use of union dues spent on unwanted union politics. \u201cHowever, the court missed a major opportunity to solve the fundamental cause of abuse by Utah\u2019s government union officials \u2013 monopoly bargaining power. \u201cMonopoly bargaining is the premier union special privilege, granted or allowed by federal law and the laws of many states. It forces individual employees at unionized workplaces to accept union \u201crepresentation\u201d \u2013 even if they don\u2019t want it. \u201cNational Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys intervened in the case on behalf of state employees to defend the statute and to argue that monopoly bargaining is unconstitutional for all Utah\u2019s government employees because of its inherent infringements on their rights to free speech and association. \u201cEven though Utah has a highly popular and effective Right to Work law that enables nonunion employees to pay no dues whatsoever to an unwanted union, the still-intact monopoly bargaining privilege forces employees to accept the rigid terms of \u201cone size fits all\u201d union-brokered contracts \u2013 contracts that tend to punish the best and most productive employees. \u201cThis bars all employees \u2013 even union objectors \u2013 from individually negotiating over the terms of their own employment. And using their monopoly bargaining privilege, union officials refuse to allow non-union members any input into workplace issues that directly affect them. Monopoly bargaining often leaves employees who don\u2019t support the union\u2019s ideological agenda with an intolerable choice: Join the unwanted union and pay dues or give up their workplace voice. \u201cUnfortunately, Utah\u2019s VCA law leaves monopoly bargaining \u2013 the very root of forced unionism \u2013 intact. Meanwhile, as recent history has shown, attempts to merely regulate the misuse of employees\u2019 dues for political activities have utterly failed in other states. \u201cEnding the ability of union officials to impose their \u201crepresentation\u201d on non-consenting employees would \u2013 unlike Utah\u2019s Voluntary Contributions Act \u2013 tear out compulsory unionism from the root and fully restore employees\u2019 individual rights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
