Transit Workers Targeted by Union Violence and Harassment"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b>Los Angeles, Calif. (October 15, 2003)<\/b> \u2013 With a disruptive public transit strike underway, the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation today announced that it will offer free legal aid to non-striking Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) workers who are targeted for illegal harassment or violence by their union in retaliation for staying on the job.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1975, the National Institute for Labor Relations Research has collected more than 9,000 reports of documented union violence&#8211;many of which have come as a direct result of strike-related activities. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith union officials ordering workers off the job, employees who courageously continue to work often face violence and other ugly forms of retaliation,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation.  \u201cThe Foundation and its staff attorneys are ready to provide free legal aid to workers who are victims of union coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For example, in Los Angeles County in 2001, Matthew Kahn, an employee of Labor Ready, faced an apparently premeditated attack by union militants for providing replacement workers during a strike by the Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Employees (UNITE).  The attack left Kahn with several head lacerations and other injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The MTA union\u2019s strike centers, in part, on union officials\u2019 attempts to secure a taxpayer-funded bailout of the union health fund &#8212; despite reports that the union\u2019s own mismanagement led to the fund\u2019s bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a documented history of violence, union officials have a long history of fining and suing employees who continue to work to support their families.  The only way to escape these fines and union lawsuits is for non-striking employees to resign from formal union membership before returning to work.  However, union officials frequently deceive employees about their right to resign, or they simply refuse to honor employees\u2019 resignations from membership.<\/p>\n<p>The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation emphasizes the importance of employees learning about their rights if they desire to return to work without union retaliation.  For more information, workers can find a special advisory for the L.A. transit strike on the Foundation\u2019s web site at <a href=\"\/\">www.nrtw.org<\/a> or call 800-336-3600 and ask to speak to an attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles, Calif.
