(February 22, 2005)<\/strong> &#8211; A local employee of Anheuser Busch has filed a fourth round of federal charges against a recalcitrant Teamsters union Local for again violating the terms of a settlement agreement by failing to provide an audited statement detailing how workers\u2019 forced union dues are spent. <\/p>\n<p>Catherine Anderson, a part-time employee at Anheuser Busch\u2019s Fairfield facility, filed the unfair labor practice charges at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation attorneys.  Teamsters union local 896 officials have repeatedly committed unfair labor practices and have reneged on settlement agreements.<\/p>\n<p>Union officials recently provided workers with a financial \u201cstatement\u201d consisting of pages 10-13 of a larger report on the union\u2019s expenditures.   These fragments are a \u201cschedule\u201d of expenses claiming an unsubstantiated 96.06% of union dues money was spent on \u201ccollective bargaining\u201d costs.   This \u201cschedule\u201d does not provide any financial disclosure to justify the affiliation fees with the Teamsters International union and two Teamsters International union councils.  Teamsters officials also continue to claim that 100% of union staff salary and overhead costs are chargeable to nonmembers, even though the disclosure shows resources were spent on non-chargeable activities.  Anderson\u2019s complaint challenges both claims.  <\/p>\n<p>As a result of earlier federal charges filed by Anderson and a co-worker in July 2003, September 2004, and October 2004, Teamsters union local 896 officials settled the cases with a requirement that they properly inform workers of their right to refrain from financially supporting the union\u2019s political and ideological causes.  Teamsters officials had also agreed to cease illegal threats to have workers fired for refusal to pay excessive initiation fees and agreed to provide workers refraining from formal union membership \u201ca precise and accurate statement\u201d about the calculation of the forced union dues they could be legally compelled to pay.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Teamsters union hierarchy wants workers simply to shut up and pay up,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation.  \u201cThe repeated attempts by union officials to run roughshod over workers\u2019 rights show the inevitable greed and corruption that flow from forced unionism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actions of Teamsters union officials violated worker protections recognized in the U.S. Supreme Court ruling <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Beck\"><i>Communications Workers v. Beck<\/i><\/a>, a case argued and won by Foundation attorneys.  Under the <i>Beck<\/i> ruling, workers may not be compelled to pay dues beyond the union\u2019s proven collective bargaining costs, and they are entitled to an independent audit of union expenditures before any forced dues or fees are seized.  Union officials also violated <i>Penrod v. NLRB<\/i>, which requires local union officials to provide financial disclosure for affiliated unions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fairfield, Calif.
