(April 16, 2002)<\/b> \u2014 With the help of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, four Laidlaw Transit Services employees filed charges against Teamsters officials for illegally forcing them to pay full union dues, including dues spent for politics, and failing to notify them of their right to refrain from formal union membership. <\/p>\n<p>The four workers, Alfonso Ditillio, June Reinard, Jill Galluzzo, and Tim Stalker, have filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 449. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should come as no surprise that the Teamsters union has such a negative reputation after the way they have lied to and misled these workers,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. <\/p>\n<p>Teamsters officials never notified the workers of their right not to join the union and pay a reduced agency fee, rather than the full union dues.  When the employees participated in a campaign to decertify the Teamsters as their representative, they were harassed by union officials.  After they finally learned of their rights and resigned from the union, in October, 2001, Teamster officials continued to charge them full union dues. <\/p>\n<p>The four worker are seeking to have their dues reduced to the legal minimum.  In New York, employees are forced to pay compulsory union fees as a condition of employment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is another example of the corruption and crookedness that plagues the Teamsters,\u201d stated Gleason. \u201cBecause New York does not have a Right to Work law to protect people, the Teamsters still have the power to shake down and coerce workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Teamsters actions violated the workers\u2019 rights established by the U.S. Supreme Court <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Beck\"><i>Communications Workers v. Beck<\/i><\/a> decision.  Under <i>Beck<\/i>, a case that Foundation attorneys argued and won, workers who are not protected by a Right to Work law may resign from formal union memberships and halt and reclaim the portion of forced union dues spent on politics and other activities unrelated to collective bargaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffalo, N.Y.
