Washington, DC (November 17, 2014)<\/b> \u2013 Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation, is urging U.S. Labor Department Secretary Thomas Perez to apply federal labor disclosure law to German union and Volkswagen (VW) officials involved in an international push to unionize workers at VW’s Chattanooga, Tennessee facility.<\/p>\n
The Foundation \u2013 the nation’s premier advocate on behalf of workers who suffer from the abuses of compulsory unionism \u2013 assisted several workers who were subjected to coercive card check unionization tactics and pressure from VW management during the United Auto Workers (UAW) union’s multi-year campaign to unionize the workers. The Foundation also assisted some of those workers in filing a federal suit that challenged the company’s assistance to UAW union officials during the unionization campaign as an illegal exchange of \u00abthing[s] of value\u00bb under the Labor Management Relations Act (LMRA).<\/p>\n
In a letter to Perez, Mix spells out how officials from the German-based IG Metall union, VW’s Global Group Works Council (GWC), the UAW union, and VW Germany have participated in \u00abhigh-profile public activities…that trigger Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) reporting requirements.\u00bb Mix notes that the U.S. Department of Labor has thus far ignored this fact, and if it continues to do so, union and company officials \u00abmay receive de facto immunity for their possible violations of the LMRDA’s criminal and civil protections.\u00bb<\/p>\n
