(March 25, 2002)<\/b> \u2013 In a stunning 11-0 reversal of its previous unanimous ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the new nationwide rule of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that union officials may force 7.8 million employees to pay for union organizing drives as a condition of employment.<\/p>\n<p>The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation immediately announced it will appeal today\u2019s ruling \u2013 authored by Judge Stephen Reinhardt (a former union attorney and former executive committee member of the Democratic National Committee) \u2013 to the U.S. Supreme Court.  In recent years, the Ninth Circuit has been overturned by the High Court more frequently than any other federal appellate court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo worker should be forced to fund the recruitment of supporters to a private ideological cause,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cThis ruling is an outrageous affront to employee freedom and previous rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In its original 3-0 ruling issued early last year, the Ninth Circuit overturned the NLRB for abusing its discretion when it parted with Supreme Court precedent establishing that employees cannot be compelled to pay for union recruitment activity.  Unless overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, today\u2019s en banc ruling will compel 7.8 million American employees who work in compulsory union shops under the National Labor Relations Act to pay union organizing expenses or lose their jobs.  Organizing expenses often exceed 20-30% of a union\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n<p>Many labor law experts agree that the Ninth Circuit\u2019s decision directly violates previous rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court.  Under the Court\u2019s 1988 ruling in <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Beck\"><i>Communications Workers v. Beck<\/i><\/a>, a case brought by Foundation attorneys, employees may not be forced to pay for union political activities and other activities unrelated to collective bargaining, contract negotiation, or grievance adjustment.  In the Foundation-won precedent <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Ellis\"><i>Ellis v. Railway Clerks<\/i><\/a>, the High Court determined that union organizing expenses were clearly unrelated to collective bargaining, and thus employees who are not members of a union could not be legally forced to financially support this activity. <\/p>\n<p>In establishing the nationwide precedent, the Court of Appeals decided against grocery store employee Phillip Mulder and five other employees, who originally filed the case (with the help of Foundation attorneys) against the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.
