(February 7, 2002)<\/b>  \u2014 Richard Ohse and 60 other employees of the Carlon Corporation have won their long-running case against the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers (IBB) Local D465.  Mr. Ohse, with the help of National Right to Work Foundation attorneys, filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to reclaim dues that had been illegally collected by the union and used to support political activities.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the NLRB\u2019s ruling, IBB Local D465 officials will have paid out a total of $120,000 in full refunds of illegally seized dues, plus interest, to the 61 employees who were the beneficiaries of the complaint. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ohse, and the other employees of the Carlon Corporation, have had to wait more than a decade for this ruling.   The charge was first filed in 1991, but it took several years to force the Clinton NLRB to act on the matter.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter all of these prosecutorial delays and the union\u2019s stonewalling, these employees have finally been made whole,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation.  \u201cNo matter how long union officials hold out, they cannot ultimately deny workers their fundamental rights.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>The case arose after IBB officials 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<p>Since Oklahoma only passed a Right to Work law on September 25, 2001, these employees were not protected from forced unionism.  National Right to Work Foundation attorneys are also representing employees defending Oklahoma\u2019s new Right to Work law from union attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.
