Because New York lacks a Right to Work law, regular employees can be forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment after 30 consecutive days of employment. This means temporary or daily hires cannot be required to pay union dues if they don&#8217;t reach the 30-day threshold.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that Wahlenmayer has never worked for NBC for 30 consecutive days, CWA officials and NBC Sports demanded he join the union and sign a dues check-off card authorizing the CWA to deduct automatically dues from his paycheck and to pay a $9,000 initiation fee. Other temporary hires at NBC Sports have faced similar demands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2013\/03\/nbc-sports-cwa-charges-03112013\">Click here to read the full 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=\"middle\" border=\"0\" height=\"48\" width=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2013\/03\/nbc-sports-cwa-charges-03112013\" title=\"Worker Files Federal Charges against NBC Sports, CWA for Forcing Him to Join Union, Pay Full Dues\">Worker Files Federal Charges against NBC Sports, CWA for Forcing Him to Join Union, Pay Full Dues<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic\">Case shows why West Virginia&#8217;s workers need Right to Work protections<\/h3>\n<p><b>New York, NY (March 11, 2013)<\/b> \u2013 With the help of National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, an NBC Sports technician has filed federal charges against his employer and the NABET-CWA Local 11 union for forcing him to join the union and pay full dues.<\/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-970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
