Beutler, a school bus driver with the Livingston Education Service Agency, challenged the Teamsters\u2019 policy with free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\n\u00a0\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\nBeutler filed charges with the MERC against the Teamsters in October 2013 after she attempted to leave the union and stop paying union dues. Instead of complying with Beutler&#8217;s request, union officials told her that she would have to wait until July 2014 before she could revoke her dues deduction authorization and stop paying union dues. A dues deduction authorization is a document union officials use to collect dues or fees directly from workers&#8217; paychecks.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\n\u00a0\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\nBeutler argued that Michigan&#8217;s Right to Work law, which went into effect in March 2013, invalidates the union&#8217;s window period requirement. Under the new law, employees have the right to resign their formal union membership and stop financially supporting a union at any time.\u00a0\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/newsrelease.png\" width=\"455\" height=\"48\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff\">School Bus Driver Wins Precedent: Michigan Public Employees Can Stop Paying Union Dues at Any Time<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<i><b><span style=\"font-size: small\">MERC votes that Teamster union officials violated Right to Work law by requiring workers to wait for a \u201cwindow period\u201d to stop paying dues\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
