\nIn Pennsylvania, staff attorneys from the Foundation helped four air traffic controllers reach a settlement with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) union.

\n

\n\tHarrisburg, PA (December 29, 2008)<\/b> \u2013 With free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, four air traffic controllers have forced National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) union officials to halt their illegal forced union dues extraction methods.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe settlement is a result of unfair labor practice charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) by Foundation attorneys for the four controllers in September 2008. The unfair labor practice charges challenged the union officials\u2019 confiscatory scheme of forcing nonmember employees to support financially union activities unrelated to collective bargaining, as well as their refusal to provide a legally required independent financial audit of forced-dues union expenditures. The charges also challenged the union hierarchy\u2019s policy that forced nonunion employees to object annually to full, forced-dues paying union membership.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tFinalized today, the settlement requires union officials to post public notices informing affected controllers of their right to refrain from formal, full dues-paying membership. The notice also rescinds the union\u2019s onerous annual objection policy \u2013 a policy that requires nonunion members annually to inform union officials of their decision not to pay for union activities unrelated to collective bargaining \u2013 and commits union officials to providing employees with an audited financial breakdown of all organizational expenditures. The union hierarchy has also agreed to allow nonunion workers to challenge retroactively dues payments unrelated to workplace representation.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
