SEIU Local 1000<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Five American Eagle Airlines baggage handlers from Texas and a Southwest Airlines flight attendant from Maryland filed the lawsuit with free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>The workers all are not members of the Transport Workers Union of America (TWUA).  However, the workers must still accept the TWUA hierarchy as their monopoly bargaining representative even though they are prohibited from voting on the union&#8217;s bargaining agreement or participating in union meetings.  Additionally, federal labor law empowers union officials to extract union dues and fees from the workers as payment for their so-called \u00abrepresentation.\u00bb  If the workers refused to pay union dues or fees, they would be terminated from their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Supreme Court suggested in its Foundation-won <i>Knox v. SEIU<\/i> ruling that it was ready to reassess whether union bosses&#8217; forced dues powers, which it called \u00absomething of an anomaly,\u00bb violate workers&#8217; First Amendment rights.  Responding to that suggestion, the workers&#8217; lawsuit seeks to eliminate forced unionism in America.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2013\/06\/airline-workers-federal-class-action-knox-06272013\">Click here to read the full release.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/newsrelease.png\" style=\"padding-left: 60px\" alt=\"News Release\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" height=\"48\" width=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2013\/06\/airline-workers-federal-class-action-knox-06272013\" title=\"Airline Workers' Federal Class-Action Suit Seeks to Ground Union Boss Forced Dues Powers\">Airline Workers&#8217; Federal Class-Action Suit Seeks to Ground Union Boss Forced Dues Powers<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic\">Relying on landmark Knox Supreme Court decision, workers seek to roll back union boss power to collect forced dues<\/h3>\n<p><b>Dallas, TX (June 27, 2013)<\/b> \u2013 Six airline workers have filed a federal class-action lawsuit that seeks to expand workers&#8217; right to refrain from paying union dues in light of last year&#8217;s U.S. Supreme Court decision in <i>Knox v.
