Michels Corp. Construction Worker Wins Thousands in Settlement from Company & Union After Illegal Firing<\/a><\/h2>\n

Case underscores needs for Right to Work protections<\/h3>\n

Colorado Springs, CO (January 14, 2015)<\/b> \u2013 A former Michels Corporation construction worker in Colorado has won a settlement from a Brownsville, Wisconsin-based company and a Colorado-based union for violating his rights and illegally firing him.<\/p>\n

The settlement comes after Paul Castle of Fountain filed federal unfair labor practice charges with free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Michels hired Castle in August, Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 578 officials demanded he become a full dues-paying union member. Because Colorado does not have Right to Work protections for workers, workers can be forced to pay union fees as a condition of employment. However, the U.S. Supreme Court held in the Foundation-won Communication Workers v. Beck<\/i> case that nonmember workers cannot be compelled to pay the portion of union dues used for the union’s political and member-only activities.<\/p>\n
