Wisconsin Funeral Home Workers Win Freedom from Teamsters Local 344
Teamsters abandon legal effort to block worker-backed union removal petition
Milwaukee, WI (December 31, 2025) – Employees of Krause Funeral Home & Cremation Services have freed themselves from the unwanted “representation” of Teamsters Local 344 union officials. The workers’ victory comes after Krause management withdrew recognition of the Teamsters based on an employee-backed petition showing that the union had lost majority support.
While Teamsters union bosses initially tried to block the ouster, claiming Krause committed an unfair labor practice by withdrawing recognition, union officials quickly backed down after National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys filed a Motion to Intervene with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on behalf of Krause employee Noah Watry.
In October, Watry submitted a “decertification petition” to the NLRB, in which he and his coworkers requested that the NLRB hold a vote to remove the Teamsters union. That petition contained more than enough signatures from employees in his work unit (which includes funeral directors, embalmers, and apprentices at Krause’s facilities in Milwaukee, Brookfield, and New Berlin) to trigger a decertification election under NLRB rules.
Watry shared a copy of this employee petition with Krause officials, who, following the NLRB’s Levitz Furniture Co. precedent, withdrew recognition from the union after seeing that the petition signers also requested that their employer withdraw recognition.
Teamsters union agents sought to block the employee petition and the employer’s withdrawal by filing unfair labor practice charges against Krause with the NLRB, alleging that it had withdrawn recognition illicitly. Even though Krause had followed NLRB case law in withdrawing, an NLRB Regional Office issued a complaint against the funeral home company. Watry defended the withdrawal that he and his coworkers had requested by filing a Motion to Intervene.
NLRB Region 18 eventually referred the case to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), which set the stage for a hearing on the union’s legal claims. However, before the ALJ could move forward with the proceedings, Teamsters lawyers withdrew all charges against Krause, likely knowing that a hearing would reveal the meritless nature of union officials’ unfair labor practice charges. This effectively laid to rest the Teamsters presence in Krause’s facilities.
Wisconsin is one of 26 states with Right to Work safeguards that protect workers by making union affiliation and dues payment strictly voluntary. Yet, even in Right to Work states, union officials can impose exclusive bargaining control upon all workers in a workplace, even those who oppose the union.
“This case illustrates clearly the lengths that union officials will go in order to hold on to power in a workplace where workers would prefer to be independent,” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “The Foundation is pleased to have been able to aid Mr. Watry and his colleagues in navigating the convoluted federal labor bureaucracy that places hardworking Americans like them at a disadvantage whenever they seek to exercise their rights.
“While this case worked out in Mr. Watry’s favor, it’s important to remember that he and his coworkers have the benefit of Right to Work and could not be forced to subsidize the same Teamsters union that was trying to trap them,” Mix added. “That is why every American deserves Right to Work protections, and even in states where Right to Work exists, it must be defended.”
Penske Leasing Workers Free Themselves from Teamsters’ ‘Representation’
Dallas area workers increasingly demanding individual freedom from unions
Dallas, TX (December 22, 2025) – Employees of Penske Truck Leasing’s facility in the Redbird neighborhood of Dallas have freed themselves from the control of Teamsters Local 745 union officials. A majority of workers, with assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, filed a petition requesting decertification of the local union with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on November 14, 2025.
The NLRB is the federal agency responsible for enforcing federal labor law, a task that includes administering votes to install (or “certify”) and remove (or “decertify”) unions in workplaces. By law, the NLRB should administer a decertification election if employees submit a petition in which at least 30% of workers demand such an election (this petition far exceeded that threshold).
The decertification election was scheduled for December 18, but on the day of the election, union officials formally disclaimed interest in continuing as the workers’ “representative,” removing the need for an election. Teamsters bosses presumably knew they would have lost the vote overwhelmingly, and preemptively conceded defeat.
Texas Employees Free from Union’s Twin Coercive Powers
Texas is a Right to Work state, meaning that Teamsters union officials cannot enforce union contracts that require workers to pay union dues or fees to keep their jobs. In non-Right to Work states, union bosses can have workers fired solely for refusing to financially support union officials’ activities.
However, in both Right to Work and non-Right to Work states, union officials can wield exclusive “representation” power over every employee in a workplace, unless the union is decertified. The workers at Penske’s Redbird facility are now free of both of these powers granted to union bosses by the government.
“I support decertifying the Teamsters union because the union isn’t benefiting us the way it should,” commented Penske employee Epifanio Hernandez in early December, shortly after his petition for decertification was filed. “The union rules aren’t beneficial to everyone, and instead of helping us progress, they end up holding many of us back. We deserve the freedom to exercise our own rights, speak for ourselves, and make decisions that reflect what we actually want — not what the union decides for us.”
Teamsters Union Continues Streak of Decertification
In just the last year, Foundation staff attorneys have helped several groups of employees free themselves from unwanted union “representation” by the Teamsters. These include two other cases in Dallas, where both delivery drivers for Restaurant Technologies, Inc. and employees at FCC Environmental Services recently booted Teamsters Local 745 bosses from their workplaces, the same union as in this case.
Foundation staff attorneys have also noticed a marked rise in requests from workers seeking legal assistance in Teamsters decertification cases. Recent NLRB statistics also suggest no union faces more decertification petitions than the Teamsters.
“More and more, American workers across the country are deciding they are better off without Teamsters union bosses who prioritize their own interests over that of the workers they claim to ‘represent,’” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “We’re proud to support the growing number of workers engaged in the transportation and trucking industries who are demanding freedom from coercive unionism.”
Florida Freight Workers Send Teamsters Local 512 Union Bosses Packing
Joining growing number of workers across America that are freed from Teamsters’ so-called “representation”
Jacksonville, FL (December 16, 2025) – Torrence Rivera, an employee of Parsec, Inc, and his colleagues have freed themselves from the control of Teamsters Local 512 union bosses. Parsec withdrew recognition of the Teamsters after workers presented the company with a petition demonstrating a majority of the workers opposed the union and demanding Parsec cease recognition of the Teamsters as the workers’ monopoly bargaining “representative.”
Prior to the workers’ request for the employer to cease recognizing the Teamsters, Rivera filed a “decertification” petition signed by a majority of his 110-member work unit, seeking a secret ballot election to oust the Teamsters from their facility. Rivera’s decertification petition was filed at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys.
Rivera was able to petition his employer under the Right To Work Foundation-won Johnson Controls decision, which allows an employer to withdraw recognition from a union when presented with evidence of worker disaffection. Under federal law it is illegal for an employer to engage in monopoly bargaining with a union that lacks the support of a majority of workers in the bargaining unit.
The NLRB is the federal agency responsible for enforcing federal labor law, a task that includes administering votes to install (or “certify”) and remove (or “decertify”) unions in workplaces. The election would have taken place among all full-time and regular part-time drivers, operators, groundmen, and leads, employed by Parsec at its Jacksonville, Florida, facility. Since the employees are now free of the union, the decertification election petition has been withdrawn.
Rivera and his fellow independent-minded workers are the latest in a growing number of workers that have sought relief from Teamsters representation. They are joined by others in Florida, Texas, Kentucky, and many more across the United States and its territories.
“We are encouraged that Rivera and his colleagues were able to exercise what are limited rights under federal labor law, and that they were able to eliminate Teamsters affiliation they oppose,” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “Though these workers were able to free themselves, too often employees find themselves trapped by NLRB-invented policies and fighting for months or even years just to hold a decertification election.
“With the Senate expected to confirm new NLRB members any day, we hope the incoming Board majority will take the true pro-worker position and move to end the numerous non-statutory policies that are currently used to undermine workers’ statutory right to remove unwanted union ‘representation,’” added Mix.
National Right to Work Foundation Sues UCLA Over Public Records Request for Union “Strategic Research” Workshops
UCLA administrators have stonewalled requests regarding taxpayer-funded events designed to expand Big Labor’s forced-dues ranks
Los Angeles, CA (November 20, 2025) – The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has just filed a lawsuit against the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). The case challenges the university’s failure to produce public records regarding two conferences promoting aggressive union campaign tactics. Foundation attorneys filed the lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday.
The Foundation litigates hundreds of cases each year for working men and women who face abuses of their individual rights due to compulsory unionism. Foundation cases often involve men and women who want to resist unionization campaigns at their workplaces, but face intimidation, threats, and other coercion from union officials and other union operatives.
Both events about which the Foundation requested information dealt with so-called “strategic research,” a tactic that “prioritizes gathering targeted information” to find new businesses and workers on which to launch unionization campaigns or other campaigns. The events, titled the “UCLA Strategic Labor Research Conference” and “Private Equity Research Strategies,” both had heavy political overtones as well, with the former drawing attendees “working outside labor in adjacent social movements, like climate change, food justice and housing,” according to UCLA’s website. Both gatherings took place between April and August of 2024.
Union officials wield significant influence at UCLA. Currently, the university is subject to at least 16 union monopoly bargaining contracts, including with the powerful United Auto Workers (UAW), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and other unions.
According to the complaint, the Foundation submitted public records requests for documents, presentation materials, speaker information, and related items for both events on August 18, 2025. UCLA public records staff acknowledged the requests promptly, but have delayed any substantive response.
Notably, the Foundation’s requests are similar to requests made by others about the same events near the beginning of 2025. As the lawsuit points out, this means UCLA officials should have compiled and produced these documents earlier this year. Their failure to produce the documents to the Foundation in late 2025 shows the officials have ignored their legal obligation under the California Public Records Act for nearly a year now.
“The CPRA requires that an agency produce records responsive to a request made by a member of the public promptly, and Defendants’ conduct constitutes an unlawful and bad-faith delay in violation of this statutory duty,” the complaint says. “Through this unjustified delay, Respondents have denied Petitioner access to responsive public records without legal basis.”
Section 6258 of the California Government Code authorizes declarative or injunctive relief for those who wish to enforce their right to inspect or receive a public record.
“Poll after poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly oppose forcing workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment. So it is outrageous that taxpayers appear to be funding conferences specifically designed to coordinate how to expand union bosses’ forced-dues ranks,” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “The public deserves to know what kind of tactics – and potentially radical political activity – the UCLA administration is using taxpayer dollars to promote, as well as what role union officials have in pushing their agenda at one of the nation’s largest public college campuses.”
WV Quarry Workers Win Freedom from Unwanted Boilermakers Union
National Labor Board revokes union’s monopoly status after union officials disclaim interest due to overwhelming worker support for decertification
Harpers Ferry, WV (December 5, 2025) – Holcim Millville Quarry employees are officially free from International Brotherhood of Boilermakers (IBB) Local DNCL union officials after the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Regional Director of Region 5 revoked the certification of the IBB as the workers monopoly “representative.”
The NLRB’s decision comes after IBB bosses “disclaimed interest” in the work unit, which followed a majority of workers signing a petition last month, asking the NLRB to hold a secret ballot election to “decertify” IBB union bosses as the workers exclusive representative. That petition was filed by quarry employee Curtis Mills with free legal representation from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys.
The NLRB is the federal agency tasked with enforcing federal labor law and with adjudicating disputes between employers, unions, and individual workers.
Mills petition was signed by a majority of the approximately 36 workers in the bargaining unit. The election, close to being scheduled, would have taken place among all the drivers, loaders, maintenance, and laborers at the Millville Quarry Harpers Ferry, WV, facility.
IBB officials faced with the reality that most workers wanted nothing to do with the union, decided to avoid the embarrassment of a formal vote by a majority of workers against the union, and disclaimed their status as the workers’ so-called representative.
“For the first time in a long time we are thrilled with the union’s decision,” commented Mills. “We are glad to have been able to reclaim our workplace.”
West Virginia is one of 26 states with Right to Work protections that ensure union affiliation and dues payment are fully voluntary. However, even in Right to Work states, union officials can impose exclusive bargaining control upon all workers within a workplace, even those who oppose the union.
“The Foundation is pleased to have played a part in helping Mills and his colleagues achieve their desired outcome in so short a time,” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “Unfortunately, the experience of many other independent-minded workers is less streamlined, as the combination of union legal tactics and an NLRB that has created numerous non-statutory rules to undermine decertification efforts makes it frequently difficult to even get an election scheduled.
“Workers facing such circumstances should know the Foundation is here to assist them, because no worker should be trapped in union boss ‘representation’ they oppose,” added Mix.
Viking Corporation Employee Slams Steelworkers Union With Federal Charges for “Closed Shop” Firing Threats
Charge: Steelworkers officials’ unlawful dues scheme to automatically deduct money from worker paychecks to support union politicking
Hastings, MI (December 4, 2025) – Kristen Dickinson, an employee of fire sprinkler manufacturer The Viking Corporation, has just hit the Steelworkers union at her workplace with federal unfair labor practice charges. Dickinson filed her charges at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys.
The charges detail that Steelworkers union officials are unlawfully characterizing Viking as a “closed shop,” where formal union membership is required to avoid termination. The charges further state that union bosses are mandating direct dues deductions from workers’ paychecks as a condition of staying employed.
The NLRB is the federal agency responsible for adjudicating federal labor law, a task that includes adjudicating disputes between employers, union officials, and individual employees. Although the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) permits union officials in states without Right to Work protections (like Michigan) to enforce contracts that require workers to pay union fees or be fired, U.S. Supreme Court cases like General Motors v. NLRB ban “closed shop” arrangements where formal membership is required to work. Another Supreme Court case, the Foundation-won CWA v. Beck ruling, also established that union bosses can’t compel workers who abstain from formal membership into paying dues for union political expenses.
Federal labor law also forbids requiring workers to authorize direct paycheck deduction of union dues or fees. This means that even when some forced fees can be required, workers retain the option to pay by other methods, like via mailed check. Up until February 2024, Michigan was a Right to Work state, in which all union financial support was the voluntary choice of each individual worker.
Requiring Formal Union Membership Is Still Illegal, Even in Non-Right to Work Michigan
“Steelworkers union bosses are just interested in gaining more power over us and our pocketbooks,” commented Dickinson. “If they really believe they are doing right by us, they shouldn’t feel the need to force everybody to join or trick people into supporting the union’s politics, yet that’s exactly what they’re doing.”
Dickinson’s charges recount that union officials began circulating documents among workers in August, giving them September deadlines to turn in union “checkoff” authorization cards that would permit direct dues deductions from their paychecks. The union documents alleged that workers had to do this “to be in compliance with new contractual closed shop language” (emphasis added).
When Dickinson emailed a Viking HR representative for clarification on her obligations, the HR rep claimed that “Per the new Michigan [Right to Work repeal] law and the Contract…those employees who do not sign the check-off authorization card, will not be allowed to work at Viking.” Dickinson’s charges include a charge against Viking management for repeating the misrepresentations of union officials.
Dickinson’s charges also maintain that Steelworkers union bosses “violated the NLRA because [they] demanded that Charging Party, and all similarly situated nonmember discriminatees, opt-out of paying for political and ideological activities, instead of opting-in to make such political and ideological payments.” Supreme Court precedent, including the Foundation-won Knox v. SEIU case, establish the principle that union officials cannot assume that workers have waived their right to abstain from funding union politics.
“Just because Michigan legislators gave into union political pressure and rammed through a party-line repeal of Michigan’s popular Right to Work law does not mean that union bosses can make any demands of workers that they want,” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “Michigan workers still have the right to abstain from membership and union political support, and should contact Foundation attorneys immediately if they experience any pushback in their exercise of those rights.”
Majority of Dallas Penske Leasing Workers Request Vote to Remove Teamsters Local 745
In last year, several groups of Penske employees across the country have sought to escape coercive union control
Dallas, TX (December 2, 2025) – A majority of employees at Penske Truck Leasing’s facility in the Redbird neighborhood of Dallas are demanding a vote to remove Teamsters Local 745 union officials from power at their workplace. Penske employee Epifanio Hernandez submitted a union “decertification petition” backed by his colleagues to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with free legal aid from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys.
The NLRB is the federal agency responsible for enforcing federal labor law, a task that includes administering votes to install (or “certify”) and remove (or “decertify”) unions in workplaces. By law, the NLRB should administer a decertification election if an employee submits a petition in which at least 30% of his coworkers demand such an election. Hernandez’s decertification petition contained signatures from a majority of his coworkers, well exceeding that threshold.
Texas is a Right to Work state, meaning that Teamsters union officials cannot enforce union contracts that force Hernandez and his coworkers to pay union dues or fees to keep their jobs. In non-Right to Work states, union bosses can get workers fired for refusing to financially support union activities. However, in both Right to Work and non-Right to Work states, union officials can wield exclusive “representation” power over every employee in a workplace, unless the union is decertified.
“I support decertifying the Teamsters union because the union isn’t benefiting us the way it should,” commented Hernandez. “The union rules aren’t beneficial to everyone, and instead of helping us progress, they end up holding many of us back. We deserve the freedom to exercise our own rights, speak for ourselves, and make decisions that reflect what we actually want — not what the union decides for us.”
Texas Penske Workers Join Wider Opposition to Teamsters Officials & Other Union Bosses
In just the last year, Foundation staff attorneys have helped several groups of Penske employees around the country break free from unwanted union control. These have included Penske workers in Minneapolis and Nashville, who last year overwhelmingly voted to oust International Association of Machinists (IAM) union bosses. In December 2024, Philadelphia-area Penske Logistics workers also voted to remove Teamsters Local 500 union officials.
Teamsters union officials’ workplace actions and political activity have also come under increased worker scrutiny recently. During the 2024 election cycle, the union’s upper echelon chose not to endorse Donald Trump because he would not commit to eliminating Right to Work and granting forced-dues power to union bosses nationwide. Teamsters top officials’ prioritizing of their forced-dues powers comes despite polls showing nearly 80% of American union members support Right to Work and voluntary union dues.
Foundation staff attorneys have also noticed a marked rise in requests from workers seeking legal assistance in Teamsters decertification cases. Recent NLRB statistics also suggest no union faces more decertification petitions than the Teamsters.
“It seems that hardly a week goes by without Teamsters union officials showing how out-of-touch they are with the workers they claim to ‘represent,’” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “We’re proud to support the growing number of workers engaged in the transportation and trucking industries who are standing up for their interests in the workplace.”
Special Legal Notice Notifies Temporary/Seasonal Employees of Legal Rights When Faced With Union Dues Demands
National Right to Work Foundation defended seasonal UPS worker who received $0 paycheck after Teamsters bosses illegally took full dues from wages
Washington, DC (November 25, 2025) – The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has published a special legal notice for workers in transportation, retail, foodservice, and other industries who have been hired temporarily to meet demand during the 2025 holiday season. The notice reminds seasonal workers that, in many cases, they have no legal obligation to formally join a union or pay union dues, even if union bosses demand that they do so.
The notice also provides contact information for the Foundation’s staff attorneys so temporary workers can obtain free legal assistance in exercising their right to be free of unwanted union affiliation. In one instance, Foundation attorneys aided a Stockton, CA, seasonal UPS worker, who received a paycheck for $0 after UPS management deducted full union dues from his paycheck at the behest of Teamsters union officials.
The full notice is available here https://807063.us25.myftpupload.com/holiday/.
“Retailers, package delivery companies, restaurants, and other companies often hire temporary workers during the Holiday Season,” the notice reads. “Knowing that many of these workers may be unaware of their right not to join a union, union officials often deceive temporary workers into believing they must join or pay dues to the union to keep their jobs… Employees have a right not to be members of unions.”
Even in States Lacking Right to Work Protections, Seasonal Employees Can Avoid Forced Dues
In the 26 states that have Right to Work protections, there is no obligation for private sector employees to join or pay dues to a union as a condition of staying employed. The 24 states that lack Right to Work protections let union officials enforce contracts that require workers to pay dues or be fired, even workers who abstain from membership. However, the notice explains, “even in a state that lacks Right to Work protections, if you are working for LESS THAN 30 DAYS on the job, you cannot be legally obligated to pay union fees.”
The notice also urges temporary workers not to sign any documents authorizing union membership or permitting union officials to deduct dues directly out of their wages, explaining that forcing a worker to sign either kind of document is illegal. Finally, the notice encourages seasonal employees to reach out immediately to the Foundation’s legal team if they encounter pressure from their employer or union officials or have questions about their situation.
“Seasonal workers should be commended for stepping up to make the holidays run smoothly. But in the hustle and bustle they shouldn’t forget about their individual rights,” observed National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “Union bosses may use the holiday rush as their opportunity to trap delivery drivers, shelf stockers, and many others in union membership and dues deductions without them even noticing. But the Foundation’s legal notice provides vital information so they can be on guard against such illegal demands.
“Many Americans pick up extra jobs this time of year to put a little extra money in their pocket for the holidays, which makes it especially outrageous when union grinches mislead workers into paying dues money in violation of their rights,” Mix added. “Seasonal employees should not hesitate to contact the Foundation if they believe they are being forced to fund or otherwise associate with an unwanted union in violation of their legal rights.”
After Year-Long Effort, McDowell County Commission on Aging Employees Free Themselves From SEIU Union Bosses
Majority of employees signed petition demanding Commission stop bargaining with SEIU; success follows months of union stonewalling
Welch, WV (November 14, 2025) – Following an effort lasting more than a year, employees of senior homecare nonprofit McDowell County Commission on Aging have successfully freed themselves from the control of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 1199 officials. Commission employee John Reeves spearheaded the union removal effort with free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys.
The success follows Reeves’ submission of a petition in which the majority of his fellow employees demanded that their employer stop recognizing the SEIU as their exclusive “representative.” Reeves submitted the petition to Commission management in late October. Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), an employer may not engage in bargaining with union officials that lack majority support in a workplace. Commission management announced on November 4 that they had withdrawn recognition from the SEIU union.
West Virginia is a Right to Work state, meaning that union officials cannot enforce contracts that require workers to pay dues or be fired. In contrast, in states like neighboring Pennsylvania and Ohio that lack Right to Work protections, union officials can mandate dues or fees as a condition of getting or keeping a job. However, in both Right to Work and non-Right to Work states, union bosses have exclusive representation power over every worker in a unionized workplace, even those who voted against or otherwise oppose the union.
SEIU Officials Used Litigation to Block Workers From Voting
The effort by Commission employees to oust SEIU union bosses started back in June 2024, when Reeves submitted a union decertification petition to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The NLRB is the federal agency responsible for enforcing federal labor law, a task that includes administering votes to install (or “certify”) and remove (or “decertify”) unions.
Commission management and SEIU chiefs agreed to the terms of a union decertification vote, which Reeves and his coworkers participated in on July 9, 2024. However, NLRB officials held up the ballot count, claiming that SEIU officials had unfair labor practice charges pending against Commission management.
After six months of delays, Commission officials and SEIU union bosses announced they had reached a settlement in the unfair labor practice case – but a provision of that settlement stipulated that they would “not entertain a new decertification for a…period of four months.” A regional NLRB official approved this settlement in its entirety, effectively tossing out Reeves’ and his coworkers’ ballots. Reeves urged the NLRB in Washington, DC, to reverse this decision, as the regional NLRB had never proven the alleged unfair labor practices, nor had the Commission admitted to them in the settlement.
As of November 2025, Reeves’ appeal was still pending, but he and his coworkers have now successfully removed the union through a different process.
“Mr. Reeves’ and his coworkers’ situation shows that, in practice, NLRB bureaucrats will frequently stifle workers’ rights simply to advance the interests of union officials or management,” commented National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “That is antithetical to the overarching purpose of federal labor law, which is to protect workers’ free choice, not protect incumbent union bosses’ power.
“Currently, the union decertification process is overly complex and prone to legal manipulation, delays, and derailment,” Mix added. “It is in dire need of reform, and both the NLRB and federal legislators have a role to play to prevent workers from being trapped under union so-called ‘representation’ opposed by a majority of employees.”
