Loss of Dues Paycheck Deductions

Our opponents are trying to cut off our oxygen and suffocate the labor movement. They will not stop until every state bans payroll deduction of dues, making it harder for unions to represent their members.

So-called "Right-to-Work" Laws

27 States have enacted some form of "Right to Work" laws. With the new pro-union administration, the pending Pro Act bill, if passed, could do away with Right-To-Work laws bringing a much needed boost to union activity.

Recent Judicial Issues

The conservative majority of the Supreme Court delivered a sweeping and historic blow to the labor movement ruling that public sector workers who are represented by unions cannot be required to pay any union dues.

The Ongoing War On Workers

Corporations continue to strip workers of basic decencies with their large donations to anti-worker candidates and lawmakers.
