Right to Work President Mark Mix recently appeared on Fox News and Fox Business to explain how Big Labor is influencing the 2010 election cycle. Here's Mix on Fox Business discussing the hundreds of millions of dollars, largely funded through forced dues, that union bosses are spending on state and federal races:

And here's Mix on the Fox News Channel with Neil Cavuto, explaining how rank-and-file union members unwittingly fund Big Labor's political activism.

The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation depends on the support of concerned Americans to fight in the courts to protect the right of employees not to be forced to pay for union boss politics. To support this vital legal program, please click here.

Foundation President Mark Mix appeared on Fox Business's "Varney and Company" to discuss the SEIU's shady political fundraising practices:

For more on this issue, check out Mix's recent op-ed in The Washington Examiner:

Imagine the outcry if McDonalds executives demanded that franchise owners collect “voluntary” contributions totaling $25,000 for the company’s Political Action Committee (PAC) from employees at every restaurant.

What if the fast food titan’s headquarters followed up with a threat - pay us, or face a $37,500 fine? Do you think this heavy-handed scheme would raise a few eyebrows at the Federal Election Commission (FEC)?

Replace “McDonalds” with “SEIU” in that description and you’ve got a pretty good idea of Big Labor’s latest political fundraising strategy. To meet their ambitious fundraising targets, Service Employees International Union bosses are now threatening to fine any local affiliate that doesn’t meet its PAC contribution requirements.

The only problem with this racket is that FEC guidelines explicitly prohibit organizations from collecting PAC funds by threatening members with financial reprisals . . .

Faced with a looming strike on June 10, 2010, several Minneapolis nurses refused to follow union boss marching orders and instead stayed on the job to care for their patients. Although they resigned their membership before the strike took place, three nurses were threatened with union disciplinary hearings for refusing to walk off the job. With the help of Right to Work attorneys, these nurses have now filed unfair labor practice charges to hold union officials accountable for their heavy-handed intimidation tactics. Here's a video report on the incident from a local Minneapolis station:

For related coverage, check out articles from Minnesota Public Radio and The Minnesota Star-Tribune. You can also read the Foundation's press release on the incident here. 

The Right to Work Foundation has also extended an offer of free legal aid to any nurses facing similar union "disciplinary hearings." Interested parties should use the contact information provided here to determine if they're eligible for assistance. 

UPDATE: On Monday, August 2, Foundation attorneys filed another round of charges against the MNA union on behalf of Susan Clark, a nurse who was never informed of her right to leave the union to avoid participating in the recent Minneapolis hospital strike. A copy of Clark's charges can be found here (.pdf). 

Yesterday, National Right to Work President Mark Mix appeared on the Glenn Beck Show to explain the looming fiscal threat of government sector unions' under-funded pension plans:

At the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference, Right to Work President Mark Mix explained the dangers of Big Labor's power grabs to a panel on job creation:

In the wake of the Massachusetts Senate election, National Right to Work President Mark Mix explained why rank-and-file union voters aren't willing to go along with union bosses' hand-picked candidates:

Although surprisingly NOT registered as a lobbyist, SEIU Top Boss Andy Stern is The White House's most frequent visitor. Union bosses get top billing at high-profile administration events. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis's last job was at Big Labor-front group American Rights at Work. To commemorate the union bosses' newfound friendliness with top White House politicos, we decided to put together a short video on the Obama Administration relationship with Big Labor:

The Right to Work Foundation continues to work tirelessly to promote greater transparency at the Department of Labor. Unfortunately, the root of the too-close-for-comfort relationship between union bosses and the White House can be traced back to Big Labor's many government-granted powers. Until we're able to roll back these union boss privileges, the White House will remain a favored destination for Big Labor bosses.
