National Right to Work Foundation attorneys helped the four Mt. Clemen\u2019s General Hospital employees involved in the dispute file unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB last November after the employees continued to do their jobs during a recent strike.  In August of 2004, Deborah Mounger, Cherie Jones, Kimberly Grifka, and Jennifer Pacyga all individually chose to send letters to the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) formally revoking their union memberships. By resigning from formal union membership, employees are not subject to union rules and internal union discipline.  After having officially resigned from membership in OPEIU, the four local women continued going to work during a union strike. On October 28th, each woman received a letter stating that OPEIU union officials were filing internal charges against them, and that they faced fines of $500 per charge, for totals of up to $4,000 a person simply for reporting to work during the strike. \u201cOPEIU officials tried to make examples of these individuals just for going to work and doing their jobs,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cUnion officials simply do not have the right to fine workers who are not formal union members.\u201d The action of the union hierarchy clearly violates <i>NLRB v. Textile Workers<\/i>, a Supreme Court decision that it is an unfair labor practice for a union to fine employees who had been union members in good standing but who resigned during a lawful strike and thereafter returned to work during that strike. \u201cIt\u2019s an outrage that these vindictive union officials tried to send workers to the poorhouse simply because they chose to do their jobs,\u201d said Gleason. \u201cThis union hierarchy\u2019s disdain for workers\u2019 freedom and economic security shows they do not have employees\u2019 best interests at heart.\u201d The NLRB Region 7 Director has scheduled a March 7, 2005, hearing date to prosecute the OPEIU union for its unlawful practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mount Clemons, MI (January 26, 2005) \u2013 The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in Detroit has issued a formal complaint and will prosecute a local union for unlawfully threatening to fine a group of nonunion hospital employees up to $4,000 each for refusing to strike.
