(January 30, 2002)<\/b>  \u2013  Despite formal objections from the Oklahoma AFL-CIO, Judge Frank H. Seay has allowed three Oklahoma workers to join Governor Keating in defending Oklahoma\u2019s new Right to Work constitutional amendment.   Formally admitted yesterday as \u201cdefendant intervenors,\u201d the workers are receiving free legal aid from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. <\/p>\n<p>The employees argue that, if the unions prevail in voiding the statewide ban on forced unionism, they will suffer direct financial harm as well as damage to their interests of free speech and free association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBig Labor fought the intervention of our clients because they are afraid to let the workers of Oklahoma speak for themselves.  This ruling affirms that union bosses cannot muzzle workers,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.  \u201cThese employees deserve the right to speak out against the corruption and abuse created by compulsory unionism.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Oklahoma AFL-CIO, six local unions, and a heavily unionized company filed the suit last November in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma to overturn the will of Oklahoma\u2019s voters, who enacted State Question 695 on September 25, 2001.  The Right to Work constitutional amendment bans the widespread union practice of forcing workers to join an unwanted union or pay union dues as a condition of employment.  Oklahoma is the newest of America\u2019s 22 Right to Work states. <\/p>\n<p>As \u201cdefendant intervenors,\u201d the employees\u2019 `can file briefs and Foundation attorneys can make arguments in court defending the employees\u2019 financial and liberty interests at stake in the preservation of the Right to Work amendment.  Meanwhile, Governor Keating\u2019s primary legal responsibility is to protect the interest of the public at large in a law passed by electoral referendum. <\/p>\n<p>The three employees are Kent Duvall of United Parcel Service, Michelle McKenzie of Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, and Stephen Weese of Oklahoma Fixture Company. <\/p>\n<p>Motions for summary judgment will be filed by the parties on or before January 31, 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muskogee, Okla.
