Help Us Fight Forced Unionism!
We at the National Right to Work Committee are fighting at many levels to protect America's working men and women's right to decide for themselves whether or not a union deserves their financial support.
Whether it be in the state and federal legislatures, the courts, or hearing rooms at the FEC or the NLRB, we fight to ensure that workers join unions because they want to – not out of fear or federal mandate.
Please become an active member by pledging a monthly gift, or by helping us financially on one of the specific legislative efforts highlighted above.
The headline “Union Boss Makes Threat” is like the “Dog Bites Man” headline — we have seen it all before. But, in New Jersey, there is a new twist. The union boss that is making threats is the head of the police union.

Jim Walters of the Georgetown Kentucky News-Graphic understands that it will take “new ideas and leadership backbone” to move Kentucky forward economically:
. . . Kentucky’s next governor could wield a positive influence over the commonwealth’s sluggish economy by going south of the border, grabbing Tennessee’s right-to-work policy and bringing it back.

Teamsters Boss Jimmy Hoffa has made it clear why he desperately wants Congress to pass the Card Check Scam into law:
If EFCA [the so-called Employee Free Choice Act, H.R. 800/S.1041] were signed into law, Hoffa believes, Teamsters could double the size of the union.

Prusi’s bill would allow teachers unions to end the hiring of services including contractors to serve […]

The Wheeling Intelligencer reports:
Russell Sobel, professor of economics at West Virginia University, strongly believes the state’s economy would benefit if the Legislature were to support a right to work law . . . .
Sobel could not be more correct in his analysis. The Intelligencer noted Sobel’s comments:
“When you consider job growth, there is substantial […]
Forbes Magazine had an interesting article last month about a lawsuit, “which is seeking class action status . . . ,” that “accuses ING . . . Life Insurance and the New York State United Teachers of ripping off union members in a retirement savings plan through over-charges, undisclosed payments and kickbacks.”
According to the article, […]
Big Labor wants to eliminate workplace elections, and the decision by card dealers in New Jersey to reject unionization is a prime example why. After using political muscle, including having Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ) conduct a card check campaign on Big Labor’s behalf, workers voted secretly to reject a bid to unionize, the Associated […]
