Washington, DC (January 10, 2012) - Today, National Right to Work
Foundation attorneys will make their fifteenth appearance before the
U.S. Supreme Court, this time representing California state employees
challenging a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) political fee
charged to workers regardless of their union membership status. Mark
Mix, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation,
issued the following statement regarding today's hearing:
"Today, the United States Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case about union bosses using state workers' hard earned money for politics without the workers’ permission.
"Attorneys from the National Right to Work Foundation – the nation's leading advocate for workers who suffer from the abuses of compulsory unionism – will argue that the workers should not be forced to pay for union officials’ political spending.
"The Court should knock down this scheme – closing a giant loophole that allows union bosses to confiscate money from workers' paychecks for political spending sprees – and send a message to union officials, once again, that forced political conformity is wrong."
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I'm very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.
