El sindicalismo forzoso en cualquier forma \u2014taller \u00absindical,\u00bb \u00abcerrado,\u00bb o \u00abde agencia\u00bb\u2014 es una contradicci\u00f3n al principio del Derecho al Trabajo y al derecho humano fundamental que representa el principio. El Comit\u00e9 Nacional para el Derecho al Trabajo est\u00e1 de acuerdo en que todas las personas deben tener el derecho de unirse a un sindicato, pero no deben ser obligados.

La Fundaci\u00f3n reafirma el derecho de todos los estadounidenses a estar libres de todos los abusos del sindicalismo forzoso.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00bfC\u00f3mo afecta el sindicalismo forzoso a la pol\u00edtica gubernamental?<\/h4>\n<p>El sindicalismo forzoso es principalmente responsable de las pol\u00edticas de Gravar y Gastar del Congreso de los Estados Unidos. Bajo los poderes coercitivos concedidos federalmente, los funcionarios sindicales recaudan alrededor de $4,500 millones anualmente en cuotas forzosas y mucho de eso se pasa a las operaciones no declaradas de las campa\u00f1as para elegir y controlar a los grupos mayoritarios del congreso que se dedican a incrementar los impuestos y los gastos gubernamentales.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abLos sindicatos han aumentado considerablemente su compromiso econ\u00f3mico con la actividad pol\u00edtica en los ciclos electorales recientes \u00bb como una manera de lograr ganancias en el proceso pol\u00edtico que no han podido obtener en la mesa de negociaciones,\u00bb escribi\u00f3 el economista James T. Bennett en la edici\u00f3n del invierno de 1991 del <i>Journal of Labor Research<\/i> (Revista de investigaci\u00f3n laboral). Su importante estudio revel\u00f3 que, pese a p\u00e9rdidas de membres\u00eda, el ingreso total ($11,500 millones anualmente) de los sindicatos del sector privado est\u00e1 a un nivel m\u00e1s alto que nunca. Los ingresos sindicales, en d\u00f3lares ajustados a la inflaci\u00f3n, se han m\u00e1s que duplicado en los \u00faltimos 30 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la\u00bbrepresentaci\u00f3n exclusiva\u00bb?<\/h4>\n<p>La \u00bb representaci\u00f3n exclusiva\u00bb es un privilegio forzoso especial otorgado por ley federal que le da el poder a los funcionarios del sindicato de representar a todos los empleados en la unidad de negociaci\u00f3n de una compa\u00f1\u00eda. Esta\u00bbrepresentaci\u00f3n sindical forzosa\u00bb priva a los empleados, incluso en estados con Derecho al Trabajo, de su derecho a negociar por si mismos. Los funcionarios del sindicato exigen este poder, y luego lo usan como su excusa para forzar a los empleados a pagar cuotas por una representaci\u00f3n que no desean.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00bfQu\u00e9 derechos tienen los empleados en los estados que no tienen leyes de Derecho al Trabajo?<\/h4>\n<p>Ciertos derechos de empleados que no est\u00e1n amparados por una ley estatal de Derecho al Trabajo han sido establecidos por resoluciones judiciales del Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos. Los empleados pueden elegir si se unen o no al sindicato y los miembros del sindicato pueden renunciar a su membres\u00eda. A los no miembros \u00fanicamente se les puede obligar a pagar su parte proporcional de lo que el sindicato pueda comprobar que son los costos de negociaci\u00f3n. No se les puede obligar a pagar ninguna cuota hasta que los costos hayan sido declarados y explicados, y pueden cuestionar los costos presentados por el sindicato. Los empleados que tengan creencias religiosas sinceras que les impidan unirse a un sindicato o a pagarle alg\u00fan dinero tambi\u00e9n tienen derechos especiales.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00bfQu\u00e9 efecto tiene una ley de Derecho al Trabajo sobre un est\u00e1ndar de vida del estado?<\/h4>\n<p>El Comit\u00e9 Nacional para el Derecho al Trabajo ha se\u00f1alado que <a href=\"\/es\/right-to-work-states\">los estados con Derecho al Trabajo<\/a> disfrutan de una calidad de vida m\u00e1s alta que los estados sin Derecho al Trabajo. Las familias en <a href=\"\/es\/right-to-work-states\">estados con Derecho al Trabajo<\/a>, por t\u00e9rmino medio, tienen ingresos m\u00e1s altos, despu\u00e9s de impuestos, y un mayor poder adquisitivo que las familias que viven en estados sin Derecho al Trabajo, seg\u00fan fue comprobado por estudios independientes. Es m\u00e1s, <a href=\"\/es\/right-to-work-states\">los estados con Derecho al Trabajo<\/a> tienen una mayor vitalidad econ\u00f3mica seg\u00fan muestran las estad\u00edsticas del Departamento del Trabajo, con crecimiento m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido en los empleos no agr\u00edcolas y de producci\u00f3n, cifras de desempleo m\u00e1s bajas y menos paralizaci\u00f3n de trabajo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>What is the Right to Work principle?<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe Right to Work principle&#8211;the guiding concept of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation&#8211;affirms the right of every American to work for a living without being compelled to belong to a union.
