Prior to 1968, victims of compulsory unionism abuses were in a lonely, exposed position if they tried to fight back. They had been unjustly treated by their unions or employers, often by both. Government agencies tended to turn their backs to the problem. And even if workers could afford them, most labor law specialists worked either for unions or for management-not for the employee.

Since its founding in 1968 the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has provided free legal aid for hundreds of thousands of employees, winning or favorably settling more than 3,000 cases, including 17 trips and major precedent setting victories at the Supreme Court of the United States. In a given year Foundation staff attorneys litigate over 250 cases on behalf of thousands of employees.
