I would urge ALL reading this to contact their elected Representatives and DEMAND they vote for H.R. 1870-The Freedom from Union Violence Act. This legislation, introduced by Republican Wilson (SC) would close the loophole in Federal Law which ..."exempts union-boss-orchestrated extortionate violence from prosecution when it is committed pusuant to so-called 'legitimate union objectives.'" Source:NRTW Newsletter-May 2003.

Also, I would urge you to DEMAND your Congresscritter support The National Right to Work Act (H.R. 391). NRTWC has 103 sponsors but needs more!

During my employment at PacBell we had numerous incidents of union initiated vandalism during strike periods. Neither the police nor the unions would take any action against the individuals who cause the damage. Some of the vandalism was directed at company property. Other incidents were directed at the private property of company employees who were required to work during the strike.

I think you would do well to examine this. There is no exemption for violent actions when committed pursuant to legitimate union activity. That statement is nothing more than right to work for less propaganda.

Its interesting to note that states where the right to work exists...

No one has ever convinced me any FUVA legislation is necessary. Please help me understand why we need this. What about the laws already on the books?
