(February 25, 2002)<\/b>  \u2014 On Tuesday, February 26, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit hears arguments challenging a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling that gives unions the right to force non-union employees across America to wear union badges on their uniforms as a condition of employment. <\/p>\n<p>National Right to Work Foundation attorneys brought the appeal for BellSouth Communications technicians Gary Lee and James Amburn of Charlotte, North Carolina, who were ordered to wear a Communications Workers of America (CWA) union logo patch in order to keep their jobs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo worker should be forced to be a walking billboard for a union he or she doesn\u2019t support,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation.  \u201cThis case shows the extreme bias of the NLRB in favor of union coercion and against employee free speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1997, the NLRB\u2019s General Counsel issued a complaint against the CWA and BellSouth for unfair labor practices.  The complaint agreed with Foundation attorneys\u2019 arguments that forcing non-members to wear the CWA union logo violates their right to refrain from union activity, and that the logo gave the false appearance that non-members belonged to or supported the union.  (The employees exercised their right not to join the union under North Carolina\u2019s highly popular Right to Work law.)   <\/p>\n<p>However, in a decision filled with tortured legal reasoning, late last year the NLRB in Washington, DC, ruled that BellSouth\u2019s uniform policy requiring the patch was a \u201cspecial circumstance,\u201d which trumped the statutory right of workers to refrain from supporting the union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richmond, Va.
