Oklahoma City, Okla. (April 29, 2003)<\/b> \u2013 Ironically arguing that the state of Oklahoma cannot protect the right to join a union, union lawyers have successfully stalled a final decision as to whether Oklahoma\u2019s popular Right to Work constitutional amendment will be upheld. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit \u2013 based in Denver \u2013 has ruled that certain provisions of the Right to Work law are preempted by federal law, but has referred to the Oklahoma State Supreme Court the state law question as to whether the core of the law is \u201cseverable\u201d and will ultimately be allowed to stand. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a last ditch effort by union bosses to defy the will of Oklahoma\u2019s voters, who decisively rejected Big Labor\u2019s self-serving propaganda and scare tactics by establishing a statewide policy of voluntary unionism,\u201d said Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation, whose legal-aid attorneys have been representing employees defending the Right to Work law from this union attack. <\/p>\n

\u201cOklahoma citizens are already reaping the economic benefits of the new Right to Work Law, to say nothing of the additional protection of individual rights that it provides. That is why union operatives are so angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

In September 2001, Oklahoma voters enacted State Question 695, making Oklahoma the nation\u2019s twenty-second Right to Work state. The Right to Work constitutional amendment bans the widespread union practice of forcing workers to join an unwanted union or pay union dues as a condition of employment. <\/p>\n

In November 2001, the Oklahoma AFL-CIO, six local unions, and a heavily unionized company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma to overturn the amendment. The U.S. District Court ruled favorably on motions submitted by Governor Frank Keating\u2019s legal team and attorneys for the National Right to Work Foundation, who represented three Oklahoma workers in defending the law. <\/p>\n

The District Court held that, as in other states, the Right to Work law cannot be enforced with regard to employees covered by the Railway Labor Act (RLA) or employees of the federal government. But the law clearly and constitutionally protects employees who work for private companies under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). <\/p>\n

The Tenth Circuit in a ruling issued recently held that the provision in Oklahoma\u2019s Right to Work Law that protects the right to join a union is also preempted by the NLRA (which already protects that very right), and thus can only be enforced as to public employees in the state. The State Supreme Court must now decide whether the preempted provisions of the law are severable from the core of the law, which establishes the right of employees not to join or financially support an unwanted union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
