Springfield, Virginia (January 22, 2004) – Spokesmen from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation will be available onsite at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to comment on the progress of the Right to Work movement in rolling back union special privileges as well as Big Labor’s effort to influence the 2004 elections.

Foundation President Mark Mix and Vice President Stefan Gleason, who appear frequently on national television and radio programs and whose writings have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, National Review Online, Washington Times, and numerous other publications, will be available for interviews.

Mr. Mix and Mr. Gleason are prepared to provide commentary on issues related to the following:

  • How Big Labor’s political agenda is out of step with rank-and-file workers;
  • Union officials’ plans for influencing the 2004 elections using compulsory union dues;
  • Big Labor’s new organizing push using highly coercive “top-down” organizing tactics;
  • The growing support for Right to Work laws around the country;
  • AFL-CIO’s efforts to block the Bush Administration’s new union disclosure requirements;
  • Right to Work’s recent victory in the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

To schedule an interview with a Right to Work spokesman during CPAC, please call Justin Hakes, Assistant Director of Legal Information for the National Right to Work Foundation at (571) 243-3637.
