The nonunion workers allege that IAM union officials illegally fined them $4,500 each for continuing to work during a union-mandated strike that lasted from November 2, 2005 to February 1, 2006.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIAM union officials\u2019 policy of bullying employees who do not toe the union line cannot continue with impunity,\u201d said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.  \u201cUnion officials\u2019 thuggish tactics demonstrate how the union hierarchy\u2018s interests are at odds with those of the very employees they claim to represent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Boeing employees cannot be lawfully fined because they resigned their union memberships (and thus were no longer subject to internal union rules) before returning to work \u2013 their right under the Foundation-supported Patternmakers v. NLRB U.S. Supreme Court decision.  In Patternmakers, the High Court ruled workers may resign their full, formal union membership immediately, at any time, and without restrictions.  <\/p>\n<p>Once an employee becomes a nonmember, union officials then have no legal basis for enforcing internal union \u201cdiscipline\u201d against them.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, IAM union officials\u2019 actions run contrary to Alabama\u2019s highly-popular Right to Work law \u2013 on the books since 1953 \u2013 which prevents workers from being forced to join or pay dues to an unwanted union as a condition of employment.<\/p>\n<p>The NLRB will now investigate the workers\u2019 charges and decide whether to issue a formal complaint and prosecute the IAM union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**Decatur, AL (May 1, 2006)** \u2013 With free legal aid from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, eight Boeing employees have filed federal charges against the International Association of Machinists (IAM) union for illegal retaliatory fines levied against them for honoring their commitments to their employer and refusing to walk off the job [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
