(June 18, 2002)<\/b>  \u2013  Union lawyers have filed an appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to overturn Oklahoma\u2019s new Right to Work Law, a measure that makes union membership voluntary while creating new jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision to file an appeal is another slap in the face to the voters of Oklahoma who rejected the unions\u2019 cynical campaign of misinformation last fall,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation, whose legal-aid attorneys will be representing employees defending the Right to Work law at the appellate court.   <\/p>\n<p>According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, Oklahoma has led the nation in the creation of jobs since the passage of Right to Work last September.  The economic growth seen in Oklahoma is part of a larger trend that shows Right to Work states having higher rates of economic growth in comparison to states with pervasive forced unionism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe workers of Oklahoma are already seeing the benefits of living in a Right to Work state,\u201d said Gleason.  \u201cWhen will union officials end their hostility toward employee freedom and the creation of new jobs for Oklahomans?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On June 6, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Frank Seay ruled on motions for summary judgment submitted by Governor Frank Keating\u2019s legal team and attorneys for the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, who represented several Oklahoma workers in defending the law.  <\/p>\n<p>The 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).  Meanwhile, the court held that the minor provisions that banned exclusive union hiring halls and payroll deduction were pre-empted by federal law.<\/p>\n<p>The Oklahoma AFL-CIO, six local unions, and a heavily unionized company filed the original suit last November in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma to overturn the will of Oklahoma\u2019s voters, who enacted State Question 695 on September 25, 2001.  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.  Oklahoma is the newest of America\u2019s 22 Right to Work states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muskogee, Okla.
