The special legal notice informs these affected workers of the rights union officials won\u2019t tell them about, including that they have the right to keep working and support their families despite the union boss-ordered strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation raises serious concerns for employees who believe there is much to lose from a union-ordered strike,\u201d the legal notice reads. \u201cWhich is why workers frequently contact the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation to learn how they can avoid fines and other vicious union discipline for continuing to work during a strike to support themselves and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation\u2019s legal notice informs Rieth-Riley employees of their rights to resign union membership and continue to work during the union-determined strike, complete with example resignation letters. It also notes that workers have the right to revoke their union dues \u201ccheck-offs,\u201d which authorize their employer to deduct union dues directly from their paychecks. Finally, the notice provides a link to information on how to oust an unwanted union from the workplace, including the process for initiating a National Labor Relations Board-approved decertification vote.<\/p>\n<p>The full notice can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/nrtw.org\/rieth-riley\/\">www.nrtw.org\/rieth-riley\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The National Right to Work Foundation is the nation\u2019s premier organization exclusively dedicated to providing free legal assistance to employee victims of forced unionism abuse. In California earlier this year, the Foundation represented three Sacramento-based mosquito abatement employees who sued Operating Engineers Local 3 for illegally intimidating them simply because they had sought information on their right to decertify a union. The California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) ruled in favor of the workers in May.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation also aided employees in the aftermath of the high-profile New England Stop &#038; Shop strike which was ordered by United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union bosses in April. Foundation staff attorneys filed federal charges against the UFCW for two workers who received threats of illegal retaliation after continuing to work during the strike, and provided many more with information on their rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs demonstrated in California earlier this year, Operating Engineers bosses will stop at nothing to ensure workers don\u2019t discover their rights, and that effort will only intensify during this strike,\u201d commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. \u201cThe Foundation, since its founding in 1968, has been committed to offering free legal aid to workers to protect themselves from union bosses\u2019 coercive tactics which regularly go hand-in-hand with union strike demands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"qtranxs-available-languages-message qtranxs-available-languages-message-es\">Disculpa, pero esta entrada est\u00e1 disponible s\u00f3lo en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrtw.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11455\" class=\"qtranxs-available-language-link qtranxs-available-language-link-en\" title=\"English\">English<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
