National Right to Work Foundation-won precedents protect Michiganders from Big Labor schemes

In fact, despite claims to the contrary, Big Labor’s official filings show that union bosses spend around $2 billion on politics every election cycle. Some research even indicates that the real total Big Labor political spending tops $25 billion per election cycle, overwhelmingly from workers union dues!

Private sector workers are protected by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Beck decision, won by National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys. Even if your state lacks a Right to Work law, like the popular law Michigan repealed recently, you cannot be required to pay the portion of dues spent on political and lobbying activities.

Meanwhile, public sector workers in Michigan — including both state and local employees — can entirely cut off union payments. That right was established thanks to the Foundation’s Janus victory at the Supreme Court. Visit this page to learn how to stop paying union dues and fees as a public employee in Michigan.

In addition, unionized worker across the board in Michigan have the right to vote out a union they oppose through a secret-ballot “decertification” election. Learn more about how remove (i.e., “decertify”) a union from your workplace here.
