The case originated in 2001 during contract negotiations between the City and officials of the AFL-CIO, Local 2384. Union officials wanted to force city employees to pay forced union fees equivalent to nearly 80% of full union dues.  When City officials refused to negotiate these \u201cfees\u201d on the grounds that they violated Arizona\u2019s Constitution and Right to Work statutes, the union filed a complaint with the Phoenix Employee Relations Board (PERB). The case is now with the Arizona Court of Appeals. Foundation attorneys filed an amicus curiae brief on Friday, supporting the City\u2019s position that any form of forced dues violates state law. The Grand Canyon state\u2019s highly popular Right to Work law protects all public employees and virtually all private-sector employees from being forced to join or support a union as a condition of employment.  The amicus brief points out that any forced dues, even if the amount is less than full membership dues, is a violation state law and the state constitution because it forces employees to support an unwanted union. \u201cOfficials at the AFL-CIO are simply trying to sneak their way around state laws and the state constitution,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. \u201cThey are looking for a \u2018back door\u2019 that will allow them to get a free ride on the backs of employees, instead going out and earning the voluntary support of rank-and-file workers.\u201d Arizona\u2019s Right to Work law was enacted over 50 years ago and is so firmly a part of Arizona\u2019s culture that it is part of the state\u2019s constitution. In the unlikely event that union officials were to be victorious, it would effectively void not just the Right to Work law, but a constitutional provision as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phoenix, AZ (February 28, 2005) \u2014 National Right to Work Foundation attorneys filed arguments in the Arizona Court of Appeals opposing a union attack on Arizona\u2019s Right to Work law.
