\nWashington, DC (September 4, 2009)<\/b> \u2013 Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and National Right to Work Committee, released the following statement regarding this year\u2019s Labor Day holiday.\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\u201cThis Labor Day, many Americans will enjoy a well-deserved long weekend. But as we celebrate the free-enterprise system and the value of hard work, union officials are mounting an unprecedented effort to grab more coercive power. At its core, their basic goal is simple: expand the number of workers forced to pay union dues and accept mandatory union representation just to keep their jobs.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cUnfortunately, the union hierarchy\u2019s ambitions go well beyond the scope of previous years. Now that union operatives have helped install a President who in his own words says \u2018he owes these unions,\u2019 Big Labor is focused on a series of unprecedented power grabs.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t"Their first priority is coercive \u2018card check\u2019 legislation, which would shove millions of unwilling workers into unions, disenfranchising workers from the process, and forcing struggling job-providers to knuckle-under to government-imposed contracts. Other legislative plans include the newly-revived Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill, which threatens America\u2019s first responders with federally-mandated unionization. The National Right to Work Committee is mobilizing its 2.2 million members to combat these and other bills designed to force even more unwilling workers into unions.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThroughout the United States, more than 12 million American workers are already compelled to pay union dues as a condition of keeping their jobs. And millions more are required by law to accept a union\u2019s so-called \u2018representation,\u2019 even if they never asked or voted for it.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMeanwhile, many workers feel they have no choice but to pay for organized labor\u2019s extensive political activities, while others are still unaware of their right to object. That\u2019s why the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is providing free legal aid to thousands of employees nationwide.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis Labor Day, we commend all workers brave enough to stand up to union intimidation, harassment, and even violence as they defend their cherished freedoms. While we look forward to the day when no American is forced to pay tribute to an unwanted union, we must steel ourselves for the legislative and judicial battles ahead to defend employee freedom.\u201d\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
