(April 6, 2004)<\/b> \u2014 Three nonunion security officers at the Miami Federal Courthouse hit United Government Security Officers of America (UGSOA) Union Local 131 officials with a lawsuit today for illegally ordering them to pay union dues to keep their jobs in violation of state law.<\/p>\n<p>With free legal aid from attorneys with the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, Cynthia Vitale and two coworkers filed the lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Dade County, Florida.  The security guards allege UGSOA officials\u2019 actions violated Florida\u2019s Right to Work law, which prohibits the practice of forcing employees to join or pay dues to an unwanted union. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cUGSOA officials\u2019 actions show they are more concerned with stuffing their coffers with union dues than respecting the rights of employees they seek to \u2018represent,\u2019\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation.  <\/p>\n<p>Beginning in May 2003, UGSOA union officials posted several notices at the Miami Federal Courthouse claiming all security officers were required to either join the union or pay a non-member agency fee equivalent to 95% of full union dues. Vitale and her coworkers assert that UGSOA officials used the notices in order to pressure nonunion members into the union against their will.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the notices also falsely claimed that the security officers worked on federal property and thus were not protected by Florida\u2019s Right to Work law and could therefore be forced to pay union fees as a condition of employment.  While it is true that those employed on \u201cexclusive federal property\u201d are not covered by a state Right to Work law, only one such property exists in Miami, and Vitale and her coworkers perform the vast majority of their work on other properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese bully tactics demonstrate why the vast majority of Florida workers are fortunate to labor in freedom and under the protections of a Right to Work Law,\u201d stated Gleason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami, Fla.
