Milwaukee, Wis. (April 10, 2003)<\/b> \u2013 Citing the expiration of a six-month statute of limitations, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) avoided adjudicating unfair labor practice charges filed against Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union for jointly coercing employees to sign union authorization cards as part of a so-called \u201cneutrality\u201d agreement. National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys will appeal the dismissal of the first-of-its-kind case to the NLRB\u2019s General Counsel in Washington, DC. Meanwhile, the Foundation is stepping up its efforts to locate union-abused employees in the many other JCI workplaces where the statute of limitations may not yet have expired. \u201cWe are committed to protecting workers from having their rights trampled under these insidious so-called \u2018neutrality\u2019 agreements,\u201d said Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cAs union operatives increasingly use this organizing tactic to impose compulsory unionism on employees, we are certain that more individuals will come forward to challenge this new type of employer-union collusion.\u201d Robert Walach, a non-union member, filed the charges in January against JCI and the UAW union challenging the so-called \u201cneutrality\u201d agreement as a violation of the National Labor Relations Act. As part of the agreement, workers are denied the ability to reject unionization through a secret ballot election, and union operatives are permitted to attain the appearance of support by using the notoriously abusive \u201ccard check\u201d authorization scheme. Once UAW officials sign up a majority of the workers, JCI agrees to declare the union as the exclusive representative of all its workers, even those who did not sign a card. Bowing to pressure brought by UAW union operatives, JCI originally signed the pact last summer to halt crippling strikes staged by UAW officials at various unionized JCI facilities. Under the agreement union organizers are given full access to non-union employees\u2019 personal information at the company\u2019s 26 non-union facilities. The company\u2019s non-union employees are forced to attend \u201ccaptive audience\u201d speeches in which they are told that, if they do not support the union\u2019s organizing effort, they could risk losing potential job opportunities from Big Three automakers. Union operatives increasingly use \u201cneutrality agreements\u201d and other \u201ctop-down\u201d organizing techniques to force employers to recognize unions without a vote by the workers. The National Right to Work Foundation\u2019s legal challenge to this tactic is the first of its kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
