Because his workplace is unionized, he works under a monopoly bargaining agreement which forces him either to join the UAW or pay compulsory union fees to it in order to keep his job. However, Reed, a devout Catholic, believes financially supporting the UAW union violates his sincerely-held religious beliefs due to the union hierarchy\u2019s support for special rights for homosexuals and abortion-on-demand.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, union officials may not force any employee to financially support a union if doing so violates the worker\u2019s sincerely-held religious beliefs. The statute requires union officials to attempt to accommodate the worker \u2013 most often by redirecting the mandatory union fees to a mutually agreed upon charity \u2013 to avoid the conflict between an employee\u2019s faith and a requirement to pay fees to a union he or she believes to be immoral.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, because Reed is refraining from full dues paying union membership based on his faith, UAW union bosses forced him to pay a $100 premium and continue to pay 22 percent more than the amount workers who object on non-religious grounds must pay. Both full UAW members and secular objectors are allowed to pay an amount less than full dues if they wish to cut off the use of their union dues for political activities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n(<a href=\"\/en\/press\/2009\/12\/uaw-religious-discrimination-policy-12152009\">Read the full press release<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/newsrelease.png\" style=\"padding-left: 60px\" alt=\"News Release\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\" width=\"457\" height=\"48\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2009\/12\/uaw-religious-discrimination-policy-12152009\" title=\"Michigan Worker Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Halt UAW Policy of Religious Discrimination\">Michigan Worker Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Halt UAW Policy of Religious Discrimination<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic\">Right to Work attorneys challenge union officials\u2019 violation of worker\u2019s civil rights<\/h3>\n<p>\n<b>Washington, DC (December 15, 2009)<\/b> \u2013 With free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, a western Michigan auto worker is asking the U.S. Supreme Court today to review a United Auto Workers (UAW) union policy intended to stymie workers\u2019 religious objections to the union bosses\u2019 agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
