\n\tUnion bosses\u2019 illegal scheme violates employees\u2019 constitutional rights
\n\t<\/b><\/i><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\n\tHarrisburg, PA (February 9, 2009)<\/b> \u2013 Three Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) employees filed a federal suit challenging two Pennsylvania laws that unconstitutionally prohibit workers from leaving union ranks.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tNational Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys, providing CATA employees Brenda Hall, Karen Ilgen, and Martha Hoy with free legal aid, filed the suit today in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tUnion officials rebuffed the employees\u2019 repeated requests to resign from formal union membership in the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) local affiliate 1203B and District Council 83 unions.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tLocal 1203B and District Council 83 union officials are using the Pennsylvania Public Employee Forced Unionism Law and the Public Employee Relations Act as justification to compel the employees into continuing formal union membership and require the CATA illegally to extract full union dues from the employees.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tAs well as challenging the state law, the employees are suing for their right to retroactively object to formal union membership and obtain refunds. The employees are backed by decades of case law and U.S. Supreme Court decisions.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
