MADISON, Wisconsin — A worker-freedom organization is sending a special legal notice to unionized employees of the Big Three automakers in Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan.
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation wants United Auto Workers members at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to know their new workplace rights now that they are residents of right-to-work states.
Those new rights kick in Sept. 15, after the old UAW contracts, which included forced union dues, expire.
In a statement Thursday, the Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation said that once the UAW’s “monopoly bargaining contracts” with the automakers end, all employees will be able to exercise their new rights under their states’ right-to-work laws. The three states prohibit unions from requiring forced payment of union fees as a condition of employment.
All workers will have the right to resign union membership and will no longer have to pay “agency fees” to the union at any time, for any reason.
“Big Three auto workers can finally exercise their rights not to financially support an organization against their will,” Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation, said in a statement. “These workers are finally free from the shackles of compulsory unionism, and UAW union bosses can no longer count them as part of their forced-dues funded empire.”
But the NRTW Foundation cautions the UAW members they must submit their request to withdraw from the union in writing. Foundation staff attorneys have drafted a sample resignation and revocation letter that can be found here.
Wisconsin became the 25th right-to-work state earlier this year after a short-lived battle with big labor.
Indiana joined the ranks in 2012, and Michigan became a right-to-work state in 2013.
The UAW’s membership rolls nationwide have grown over the past five years, topping 400,000 last year – the first time that has occurred since 2008, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Those numbers could take a hit Sept. 15.
“The impulse of the union is to discourage you from hearing this information,” right-to-work activist and Ford plant worker Brian Pannebecker told a group of UAW members earlier this year at a conference center in Sterling Heights, according to the Free Press. “They don’t want you to know these things because it might impact their revenue stream, which is your dues money.”
UAW officials could not be reached for comment.
“Workplace freedom is expanding in the Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and that’s good for those states’ workers and their economies,” Mix said.
Workers who have questions about their rights or have suffered workplace abuse may contact the NRTW Foundation for free legal aid, at (800) 336-3600 or visit www.nrtw.org .
Well first of all, I am not dissing the Trump phenomenon at all...it is real, and a whole lot of it is FAN DAMN TASTIC. And yes, I agree that he’s the center of the political action right now...not AT the center, he IS the center. True.
However, it’s not a matter of some remaining lefty gaffes. The man is 69. Those “remaining gaffes” indicate that he’s still reflexively liberal - and what that means is, if he gets the nom, or the Oval - and the new and unexpected issues comes up (ALWAYS DOES) - he’s going to knee jerk to the left. That’s who he is.
I posit the wisest thing to do with regards to Trump, is to pray for God to bless him, to “mend his every flaw.”
Trump is, I posit, not standing of himself. He is a person who has found himself in exactly the right circumstances to rise meteorically. We are looking at what God is doing (or can do) with Trump, rather than what Trump is doing in his own personal steam.
Trump the secularist seems to still believe in a lot of virtues, puts sincere effort behind that belief, and respects classic Christian faith. Perfection that is not; a lot friendlier than many others that is.
We must pay our money and take our choice.
Maybe it's because I've been fighting the establishment in published words since 1992 that you think I'm in a clinical cocoon. Nothing can be further from the truth, and in fact, I call out the establishment for being in their clinical cocoon (the word I actually used was laboratories, not cocoons) in my 2013 Amazon best selling book. I owned the web URL www.FireKarlRove.com way back in 2001, and I was warning about the senior senator from Arizona back in 1992. You see, I was at this party while the tables were being rolled in and the bar was being set up. I even called this about Trump - to some degree - in April 2011.
I'm glad you all finally damn arrived.
All of which means I'm way ahead of, not behind, this particular curve. And that allows me to have my passion, while recognizing when the passion has caused others to take leave of absence.
On an earthly plane, I also see Trump going to conservative advisors, which bodes well. As a businessman, he has not usually winged it alone, but gotten wisdom in a multitude of counselors. I think a situation like the failed gambling Taj Mahal in Las Vegas reflected his impulsive side, but better than 95% of his ventures have been more wisely guided, with the overall result that he went from being a millionaire to being a billionaire.
If Trump comes to believe that, in spite of the way that lefty philosophy can feel good, conservative philosophy is the way to make America great, then Trump will probably choose to hew in that direction most of the time. The old saw goes that if you solve 90% of a problem you are doing great.
Very interesting post....God using the secularist.
I saw a (rather mediocre) low budget film “The Book of Daniel” a couple nights ago....it struck me while reading your post that maybe you think he is the new Nebuchadnezzar?
I think you used some pretty words to describe being jaded.
One can never become jaded if one watches from not even an experienced secular eyed view, but a God eyed view.
Such things could happen — a pagan king gets impressed enough with the real God that he sticks out his neck for the latter (and gets blessed). Cyrus the Great might be another such figure. Sometimes situations are not exact duplicates of bible characters and they do not need to be.
That's a fantastic assessment...in a Breitbart piece a few weeks ago I worded it something like "the mood of the country is the dry kindling to which Donald Trump is the match" - something close to that.
If he gets the nomination, I'll vote for him no doubt. And then I'll pray you are right about choosing and then following wise counsel. I still think his liberal reflexes are going to cost him the nomination at some point along the way, but the magnificent spanking he's given the establishment will still be a gift we can all appreciate.
The Wisconsin governor is not subject to term limits.
however given the main issues of the day, the knee jerks to the left on matters that might be trivial in comparison don’t matter in the overall.
If he works with a Republican congress to actually close the border, end Obamacare, resolve the Planned parent hood homicides, deal with the Iran/ISIS problem the minor issues can be taken in stride.
a primary consideration is that Trump is a deal maker. that fact alone is going to be a fantastic mark in his favor as he deals with a divided Republican congress
oh no, I am not jaded.
I am 1000 per cent passionate about Trump’s gifts to us all regarding PC, the GOp establishment, the border, etc.
But I am equally passionate about his dangerous liberal reflexes. If there weren’t some good conservative alternatives in the field, I might over look this - but there are, and I cannot. I simply cannot turn off my liberal radar. It’s not that I can detect liberalism - it’s more that I cannot NOT detect liberalism. I can smell it. I can sense it.
My writings since 1992 that looked ahead...have been well over 90% accurate.
There's nothing anyone can do about the momentum and I'd rather discuss (fantasize) what we can do with what we have (and admittedly, we have a HELL of a lot more than since when I woke up in '98), than analyzing what is wrong with what we have
Imagine the excitement in the First Continental Congress ... I honestly don't believe they were all silk stockings and protocol ... they were damned passionate
Just because we READ post Victorian English doesn't preclude what I think was an ATTITUDE that was passed down from generation to generation .... an attitude we almost lost ...
I am an American
All that Norman Rockwell stuff ... American !
I'm LOVIN' it !
Liberal reflexes... MAYBE that will be trouble.
I posit a sensible way to view what often expresses itself as liberal politics, is that it is taking what ought to be private charity and wrenching it out of place.
Governments shouldn’t be charity organs. Churches and private foundations should.
The cure is not to extinguish the impulse but to get it back into its rightful place, under sensible limits. Wildfire hurts everyone, but to use fire under control is a beautiful thing.
God is always greater than the devil.
I appreciate your points, and I'd like to address them. He's gone knee jerk left already on health care, on Walker and unions, on Fannie and Freddie, and on Planned Parenthood. That's in the last 21 days. It's kind of absurd to think that his future lib jerks will be trivial. There's almost zero chance of that playing out.
If he works with a Republican congress to actually close the border, end Obamacare, resolve the Planned parent hood homicides, deal with the Iran/ISIS problem the minor issues can be taken in stride.
As I said, he's already stepped into it with Canadian style health care and PP - just in the last couple of weeks. Might I suggest that you are projecting what you hope, not anything that is backed up by the mans history.
a primary consideration is that Trump is a deal maker. that fact alone is going to be a fantastic mark in his favor as he deals with a divided Republican congress
A deal maker. Yes, like REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE.......exactly my point. You will be very disappointed. You are giving him every single benefit of the doubt, which is not prudent at this stage and with his long history.
Au contraire, it’s kind of absurd to assume that nothing greater than Trump is closing in on Trump.
actually, I’m a Walker man but projecting possibilities on the major issues the president must deal with
Beware of increased incidences of workplace accidents once they start filing their resignation letters.
