Springfield, Va. (July 31, 2001)<\/b> — The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation announced today that it has hired David Garland, a civil rights and employment attorney and a graduate of the George Mason University Law School. <\/p>\n
\u00abDavid adds even more energy to the Foundation’s precedent-setting litigation program, and his background demonstrates the type of legal expertise required to confront union officials’ abuse of employee rights around the nation,\u00bb said Reed Larson, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. <\/p>\n
Specifically, Garland will help build on the Foundation’s successful litigation record on behalf of union-abused teachers. The Foundation is currently litigating 144 cases against the National Education Association union, a union which many academics say is increasingly responsible for declining education standards in America over the last 30 years.<\/p>\n
Garland comes to the Foundation from the administration of Virginia Governor James Gilmore, where he served in the Secretary of Education’s office as Counsel and Policy Advisor to the Virginia Business-Education Partnership. Garland has also worked for the Institute for Justice, the Center for Individual Rights, and two other public-interest litigation firms in Washington, D.C. <\/p>\n
He is a native of Roanoke, Virginia and is a member of the Board of Directors of George Mason University Alumni of Richmond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
