Government Union Officials Sic Collection Agency on Unsuspecting Public Defender for Illegal Forced Dues<\/a><\/h2>\n

Worker unaware of union officials’ so-called representation; case shows need for state Right to Work law<\/h3>\n

Albuquerque, NM (June 26, 2012)<\/b> \u2013 With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, a public defender from the Alamogordo office of the New Mexico Public Defender Department has filed a charge against a local union for wrongfully charging her with failure to pay union dues for the past five years.<\/p>\n

Nancy Fleming filed the charge with the New Mexico Public Employee Labor Relations Board against American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) New Mexico Council 18 union for illegally trying to confiscate forced union dues payments from her paycheck without notifying her that she was in the union\u2019s monopoly bargaining unit and refusing to follow federal disclosure requirements.<\/p>\n

Fleming was unaware that AFSCME Council 18 union officials’ claimed to \u00abrepresent\u00bb her and was never asked if she wanted to be a member or pay union dues or fees to the union. However, Fleming began to receive notices earlier this year from a collection agency stating that the union reported her delinquent in paying union dues or fees dating back to 2006.<\/p>\n
