Washington, DC (February 26, 2010) – The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation announced today that it has hired Erin Elizabeth Smith of Georgetown, Texas, as an addition to its legal staff.

Smith is a recently sworn in member of the North Carolina State Bar and 2009 graduate of the Wake Forest University School of Law in Winston-Salem, NC.

“Erin Smith brings to the Foundation a real commitment to defending and advancing individual liberty against the looming threat of compulsory unionism,” said Ray LaJeunesse, vice president and legal director of the National Right to Work Foundation.

“She will assist the Foundation’s burgeoning, cutting-edge legal strategies to blunt Big Labor’s well-funded, politically-connected attack on individual worker rights – including its coercive ‘card check’ forced union organizing and misuse of compulsory dues for politics.”
