(June 16, 2003)<\/b> \u2014 Responding to charges filed by an employee of the City of San Diego, a California Public Employment Relations Board (CPERB) Administrative Law Judge has ordered the San Diego Municipal Employees\u2019 Association (MEA) union to stop discriminating against non-union members by illegally withholding benefits. <\/p>\n<p>Enjoying free legal assistance from attorneys with the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, Tanya DuLaney originally filed charges in March 2002, after MEA union officials withheld dental and eye care coverage from all non-union employees.  The MEA union officials\u2019 actions violated several California statutes that are intended to protect an employee\u2019s right to abstain from membership and that require union officials to represent employees fairly.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme, part of the Memorandum of Understanding between the union and the city, was designed to pressure employees into signing up as formal union members, thereby causing them to give up certain rights, including the ability to refrain from funding union political activities. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis prosecution is a small step towards protecting independent workers who routinely suffer discrimination at the hands of California government union bosses,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cUnfortunately, as long as union officials are given a monopoly on representing employees and other compulsory unionism privileges, this abuse will continue to be prevalent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The labor board judge has ordered city and MEA union officials to form a benefits plan that does not interfere with workers\u2019 rights to remain independent of union representation, and the city must post a notice informing workers of the CPERB decision.<\/p>\n<p>With the support of Governor Gray Davis over the past five years, government union officials have seized control over much of California\u2019s economy and workforce.  For example, Davis has signed several laws that require hundreds of thousands of teachers and other public employees to pay union dues as a job condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego, Calif.
