**Springfield, VA (September 1, 2006)** \u2013 Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, made the following statement in response to the passing of this year\u2019s Labor Day holiday. The Foundation is a non-profit legal aid organization providing free help to victims of compulsory unionism abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Americans hit the beaches and fire up the barbeques to celebrate Labor Day, the holiday marks a bittersweet occasion for millions of hardworking Americans forced to join or pay dues to a labor union just to get or keep a job. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 28 states without a Right to Work law that makes union affiliation strictly voluntary, millions of our fellow citizens would be fired if they refused to pay union dues.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite their feel-good rhetoric about standing up for workers\u2019 rights, union officials commonly target dissenting workers. Sadly, such retaliation often takes the form of harassment, firings, and even brutal violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the past year, the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has fought back for thousands of such union-abused workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Washington State, we helped a group of state employees win their jobs back after union officials had them fired for refusal to pay dues. In Ohio, we\u2019re helping nurses resist threats, stalkings, and surveillance by union operatives, all because the nurses don\u2019t feel union officials represent their best interests. In North Carolina, we\u2019re helping a group of auto workers in a federal racketeering lawsuit against their employer and union for systematically imposing unionization on thousands of their colleagues. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese are just a few examples of the ugly compulsory unionism abuse we help workers fight back against every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so, as Big Labor officials dish out their tired old Labor Day propaganda, let us not forget about those rank-and-file workers who have paid a high price for standing up to union officials and exercising their individual rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese workers have nothing for which to thank organized labor. This Labor Day, in fact, they are owed an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n
