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.
Politicians beholden to Big Labor will stop at nothing to prevent workers from exercising their free choice as to whether to join a union. You can add Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to that list.
The mayor has decreed that any city project that receives funds from the Community Redevelopment Agency must agree to use […]
A federal judge has ordered California State Employees Association (CSEA) union officials to offer rebates to up to 28,000 state employees who are not union members.

The venerable Dan Walters, who covers California state politics for the Sacramento Bee, has discovered the obvious in a column entitled “Unions again using politics to bolster membership.”
Walters notes:
It’s no secret that organized labor has seen a steep erosion of its involvement in the private economy and that it has shifted its emphasis […]
A California appeals court ruling clamping down on homeschooling by parents sent shock waves across the state this week, leaving an estimated 166,000 children as possible truants and their parents at risk of prosecution, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. And not surprisingly, the California Teachers Association praised the effort to assimilate hundreds of thousands […]
California voters rejected Proposition 93, an effort that would have allowed members of the California State Legislature to remain in their current office up to 12 years — longer than they are currently allowed under California’s existing term limits. While term limits is not an issue that the Right to Work Committee is […]
Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter’s end run around the legislature to give public sector unions more bargaining power is entering phase two as the three largest public employee unions in the state are joining forces to create a “labor behemoth that some observers believe will dominate the effort to organize state employees,” the Denver Post reports. […]
The passage of H.R. 980, a bill that would would override state laws and make Big Labor bosses monopoly bargaining agents for local and state police, firefighters, county paramedics, and other public safety officers across America, has a bizarre side-effect — it would ultimately subject tens of thousands of firefighters to harsh new penalties, up […]
The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council’s “Small Business Survival Index 2007” has ranked South Dakota, Nevada and Wyoming as the best three states in the nation for job creation and small business entrepreneurship.
