Grand Rapids Teacher Files State Charges Against Union and School District for Right to Work Violations<\/a><\/h2>\n

Union and school officials collude to force school employees into dues-paying union ranks despite Right to Work law <\/h3>\n

Grand Rapids, MI (April 21, 2014)<\/b> \u2013 A Grand Rapids-area special education teacher has filed state charges against a local union and the school district for violating school employees’ rights under Michigan’s Right to Work law.<\/p>\n

With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, Becky Lapham of Portland, Michigan, filed the state charges last week with the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) in Detroit.<\/p>\n

The 11-year Lincoln Developmental Center school teacher notified the Michigan Education Association (MEA) union that she was exercising her rights under the Foundation-won Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson<\/i> case to refrain from full union dues payments and requesting a financial disclosure of how her forced union dues and fees are being spent.<\/p>\n

MEA union officials refused to comply with Lapham’s request, claiming that she would have to wait for a union-designated \u00abwindow period\u00bb in August 2014 to refrain from full dues payments, and threatened to report her to a collections agency.<\/p>\n
