On Labor Day, the National Right to Work Foundation generated significant coverage in both national and local media outlets, especially on newspaper opinion pages. Foundation President Mark Mix wrote a number of pieces for outlets around the country highlighting the injustices of compulsory unionism and what can be done to protect workers freedom.<\/p>\n

Mix wrote for USA Today<\/a> that no American should be forced to pay union dues just to get or keep a job and highlighted the prevalence of compulsory unionism despite Right to Work laws gaining ground:<\/p>\n

\n

Twenty-seven states have now enacted and implemented right-to-work laws, with five joining in the last eight years. <\/p>\n

And on June 27 of last year, the U.S Supreme Court handed down one of the most significant employee rights legal victories in the history of the right-to-work movement with the Janus decision, which ended the forced payment of union dues or fees for millions of government workers nationwide.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are more private sector American workers in the 23 non-right-to-work states and others in the railway and airline industries who still work under compulsory unionism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mix also wrote a column for the Detroit News<\/a> arguing that no worker should ever have to fear union violence just because they disagree with union tactics or thuggish strong-arming: <\/p>\n

\n

Violence, the threat of violence and the wrongful non-violent use of fear and intimidation by union thugs should be illegal. No exceptions.<\/p>\n

The spreading UAW corruption scandal shows that union bosses often act as though they are above the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the Lexington Herald-Leader<\/a>, Mix wrote about how Kentucky\u2019s Right to Work law benefits the state, and why they need to protect it from the attacks of Democrat and gubernatorial candidate Attorney General Andy Beshear, who wants to give power back to union bosses should he be elected to replace Governor Matt Bevin a friend of Right to Work:<\/p>\n

\nBeshear wants to return the Commonwealth of Kentucky to the days of workers being forced to hand over a portion of their hard-earned paychecks to the union boss elites to get or keep a job. Meanwhile, the Bevin Administration has spearheaded record economic growth after passing Right to Work here in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Even putting that enormous economic growth aside, the fact is that one candidate favors allowing Big Labor to extract money from workers\u2019 paychecks, and the other candidate has worked tirelessly to protect Kentucky workers\u2019 right to hold onto their paychecks without union boss interference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And for the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/a>, Mark wrote how Right to Work laws have benefitted Nevada\u2019s workers and families for more than half a century, causing noticeable effects for the state\u2019s economy: <\/p>\n

\nThere is a reason Tesla\u2019s Gigafactory is located in Nevada and not California. A nationwide 2017 survey of business leaders conducted by Chief Executive magazine found that, by a 2-to-1 margin, CEOs prefer adding jobs in right-to-work states over other states.<\/p>\n

Business owners correctly view states that have passed right-to-work laws as being more welcoming and business-friendly than high-tax, forced-dues states such as California. That is why federal Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that from 2013-18, factory employment growth in Nevada was more than three times greater than in Western forced-union states such as Colorado, Oregon and Montana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just a few days after Labor Day, the Daily Caller<\/a> published a timely op-ed from Mix regarding the Trump Administration\u2019s rules to make it harder for union officials, like those implicated in the unfolding UAW scandal, to spend worker\u2019s money on themselves or fuel their corruption:<\/p>\n

\nAt the end of May, the Trump Labor Department unveiled a rule that, as a contemporaneous news account filed by the Law360 legal news service explained, imposes \u201cfinancial disclosure requirements for certain trusts that unions set up, scrutiny the agency says will \u2018deter fraud and corruption.\u201d
\nThe proposed rule would reestablish the Form T-1, which until it was scuttled by union-label Obama administration bureaucrats in 2010 blocked officers of unions with $250,000 or more in annual revenue from using trusts supposedly created to benefit rank-and-file members to circumvent the federal reporting requirements for such unions that Congress instituted in the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition, Mix wrote two op-eds, one for Right to Work states<\/a> and the other for non-Right to Work states<\/a>, which were sent out across the country and printed in local newspapers. They highlight the benefits of Right to Work laws and the problems that forced unionism causes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
