The NLRB is responsible for investigating the charges and will decide whether to prosecute the union and UPS. <\/p>\n<p>A contract provision requires UPS officials in Right to Work states to tell new employees that they should become full dues-paying union members.  Ragone is challenging the agreement because the National Labor Relations Act prohibits employers from supporting unions and coercing employees into joining them. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeamsters officials are afraid to let workers choose for themselves; they know that without the fear of coercion workers will reject unionization,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. <\/p>\n<p>In running afoul of federal statutes, the agreement violates the spirit of North Carolina\u2019s highly popular Right to Work law.  Also, a state Right to Work law frees workers from being forced to join or to pay union dues as a condition of employment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeamsters officials wrote this agreement as a direct assault on Right to Work laws around the country,\u201d stated Gleason. \u201cAs more workers enjoy the benefits of a Right to Work law, union bosses are turning to more strong-arm tactics to take away their freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raleigh, NC (January 28, 2003) \u2013 Attorneys with the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation today filed an employee\u2019s legal challenge to the national contract signed by United Parcel Services (UPS) and the Teamsters union that illegally requires company officials to pressure tens of thousands of workers to join the union.
