The final notice retains the provision stating that an employee has the right to not join or remain a member of a union that represents the employee\u2019s bargaining unit. However, the OLMS notes, \u201cfurther explication of Beck<\/i> rights will not be included because of space limitations and because of the policy choice, as expressed in Executive Order 13496, to revoke a more explicit notice to employees of Beck<\/i><\/b> rights.\u201d<\/b><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n"Beck <\/i>rights" refer to the Right to Work Foundation-won Supreme Court decision Communication Workers v. Beck<\/i>, which guarantees the right of employees to opt-out of union dues for politics, lobbying, and other activities unrelated to workplace bargaining. Although workers in non-Right to Work states can still be forced to pay for union ‘representation’, they cannot be forced to subsidize union activities that go beyond the scope of negotiating with management.\n<\/p>\n
\nMany workers remain unaware of their right to opt-out of objectionable union dues, but the Administration’s notice avoids any mention of Beck <\/i>rights. It also does not mention the right to seek decertification of a monopoly bargaining agent or the right to abstain from both union membership and payment of any union dues in Right to Work states. In other words, the new notice intentionally, as a matter of White House policy, keeps workers in the dark about their basic rights, leaving them vulnerable to union bosses who have no qualms about extracting forced dues to fund political activism, lobbying, and members-only activities.\n<\/p>\n
\nWorkers in non-Right to Work states can still be forced to pay union dues just to get or keep a job, so posting Beck <\/i>notices is no panacea. But informing workers of all of their rights – not just their rights to join or organize a union – provides a modicum of protection against Big Labor’s well-known proclivity for redirecting unsuspecting workers’ dues to political and lobbying slush funds. Unfortunately, this skewed notice is yet more evidence that the Obama White House and Department of Labor are more interested in stacking the deck in Big Labor’s favor than protecting employee rights.\n<\/p>\n
\nAfter spending billions of dollars to get Obama and other pro-forced unionism politicians elected, Big Labor is once again reaping its reward through a series of favorable executive orders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
