Last Fall, when she began working as a psychologist in the Ravenna City Schools, Klamut asked to have her dues re-directed to charity \u2013 her right under the law.  The OEA refused to accommodate her, and Klamut has been informed that the union hierarchy is planning to take legal action against her. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one should be forced to support an agenda they find morally objectionable,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cUnfortunately, this not an isolated incident. Union bosses around the country try to force people of faith to support their radical social agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While working for the Louisville School System, in 1997 Klamut fought to get the OEA union and Louisville Education Association to recognize her religious objection to supporting the union.  They ordered Klamut to send her money to a union-controlled organization (Carpenter\/Garcia Fund) or they would refuse to honor her status as a religious objector.  After a two-year struggle, Klamut was able to have her compulsory dues diverted to the American Cancer Society. <\/p>\n<p>In a ruling publicized last week, the EEOC found that the National Education Association (NEA) union is systematically discriminating against religious objectors.  An Ohio teacher, Dennis Robey, brought charges against the NEA and its local affiliates after they refused to honor his religious objection to supporting the union because it promotes pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality positions and constantly attempts to interfere with parental rights. <\/p>\n<p>Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, union officials may not force any employee to support financially a union if doing so violates the employee\u2019s sincerely held religious beliefs.  To avoid the conflict between an employee\u2019s faith and a requirement to pay fees to a union he or she believes to be immoral, the law requires union officials to accommodate the employee \u2013 most often by designating a mutually acceptable charity to accept the funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ravenna, Ohio (May 30, 2002) \u2014 With the help of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, Kathleen Klamut, an employee of the Ravenna City Schools, filed charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the Ohio Education Association (OEA), and its local affiliate, for refusing to accommodate her religious objections to supporting [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
