(December 8, 2005)<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization that provides free legal aid to employees suffering from compulsory unionism abuses, made the following statement in response to today\u2019s so-called \u201cInternational Human Rights Day\u201d rally, organized by AFL-CIO officials: \u201cWhen union officials use code phrases like \u2018make it easier for workers to organize unions,\u2019 they are talking about their campaign to make it easier for organizers to <em>force<\/em> workers into union ranks regardless of their wishes.\u201d \u201cOrchestrated to invoke the sympathy of the American people, this one-sided media-blitz ignores the widespread abuse of employees who choose to <em>refrain<\/em> from union affiliation. Big Labor is trying to build public support for the enactment of a new wave of coercive union \u2018organizing\u2019 privileges.  \u201cSince employees are increasingly voting unions down, union officials want to change the law to clear the few remaining roadblocks in the way of their \u2018card check\u2019 organizing scheme. Union officials want to wipe out the secret ballot election process, get gag orders to prevent employers from telling employees about possible downsides of unionization, and require employers to hand over workers\u2019 home addresses and phone numbers without the employee\u2019s knowledge or consent. Employees often receive menacing home visits from union operatives. \u201cResponding to a wave of employee backlash, the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has brought numerous legal cases to the attention of the federal labor board documenting illegal activities by union organizers under these so-called \u2018card check\u2019 organizing drives \u2013 including threats, bribes, and stalking rank-and-file workers. Other workers have repeatedly reported being lied to about the purpose of the \u2018authorization\u2019 cards, with some being told that they are merely health insurance enrollment forms, requests for an election, or even tax forms. \u201cWorkers across the country facing such abuses are standing up to what Big Labor considers to be the only \u2018choice\u2019 that workers ought to have when it comes to union membership: Either pay dues to a union \u2013 or forfeit their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.
