95% of Employees Under Union Contracts Never Voted for IT! Though 95 percent of currently unionized workers have never voted for the union that represents them, union bosses have generally felt the need to pay lip service to the idea that, at least at one point in the past, a majority of workers expressed a preference for union affiliation. No longer. Today, just around one in 10 workers are unionized. A Gallup poll shows the vast majority of non-union workers are “not interested at all” in joining a labor union. townhall.com/columnists/mark…

Talks are underway about what a new bill to bring public-sector collective bargaining to Virginia would look like. LaNoral Thomas, president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Virginia 512, tells me that she’s met with Spanberger, and the governor’s administration and the coalition of public-sector unions are in talks about what the legislation would look like. “Ideally, we go into session with a bill that we all agree on,” Thomas said in an interview. “We're working with the bill patrons and the administration to make sure that we're aligned on the priorities in the bill before session begins.” link.vadogwood.com/view/69ea… link.vadogwood.com/click/480…

A Stuck Starbucks Decertification And A Pair Of Supreme Court Snubs October 23, 2026 At least 47 decertification petitions (RDs) have been filed by petitioners seeking to boot Starbucks Workers United (SWU).

"North Carolina’s labor policy has long been rooted in choice. In 1947, it became one of the first states to enact a “right to work” law, which allowed employees to opt out of mandatory union dues. ... The result has been prosperity. Since 1960, North Carolina has added GDP and jobs at a faster rate than the national average. ... it has created an overwhelmingly attractive business environment, ranking first in CNBC’s 2025 rankings of the best states for business." "But elsewhere, public policy is moving in a different direction — a direction that sacrifices choice in favor of more union membership." The debate over labor unions used to be about choice. One side said that joining a union should be as easy as possible to maximize an employee’s ability to choose a union. The other side said that the process should have guardrails so that people weren’t forced into a union they didn’t want. But both sides agreed that free choice was the goal. In North Carolina, the law still reflects that idea. In both the public and private sectors, North Carolina protects employees’ right to choose. It gives private employees a right to opt out of union dues. And it protects public employees from having a union contract foisted on them. In effect, it respects choice by preventing coercion. authors Patrick Pizzella is mayor of Pinehurst and former deputy secretary of the US Department of Labor. Alexander T.

Big Labor-Backed Politicians want to micromanage employers and pass legislation that controls personnel policies, such as requiring one cashier for every two self-checkout stations in states like Ohio and Connecticut. According to USA Today, at least six states have considered rules that would restrict self-checkout machines. The states range from blue Connecticut to red Ohio, but it doesn't stop there. Two cities in California already have self-checkout limits in place, while New York City is also considering restrictions. - Reason reason.com/2026/05/02/self-c…

Does having Radical SEIU Unions in charge of caregiving make you feel better? Should public agencies collude with the SEIU union bosses? New York's controversial restructuring of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) is facing another significant legal challenge, this time involving the effort to unionize approximately 190,000 personal assistants across the state. On October 14, 2026, the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation announced that a Buffalo-area CDPAP caregiver had filed unfair labor practice charges against Public Partnerships LLC (PPL) and 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, along with a motion to intervene in the union's pending representation proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)... ...Another important aspect of today's development involves the relationship between PPL and 1199SEIU. The National Right to Work Foundation alleges that the two organizations cooperated through an organizing agreement connected to the transition of CDPAP fiscal intermediary services. According to the Foundation, this relationship raises questions about whether PPL improperly assisted the union in obtaining support for its representation petition. The Foundation has also argued that because PPL and 1199SEIU are not necessarily adversarial in the representation proceeding, caregivers who oppose the proposed arrangement should have an opportunity to present their own arguments. This is a particularly important distinction. martoncare.com/post/cdpap-un…

SHAME on UFCW Union Bosses: 86-Year-Old Veteran Fights Back, Hits UFCW Union with Federal Charges for Causing his Illegal Firing from Part-Time Grocery Job UFCW bosses ignored Village Market employee for four years, then suddenly had him fired, claiming he owed over $3,500 in back dues and fees Oakland, CA (September 28, 2026) – With free legal aid from the National Right to Work Foundation, an 86-year-old veteran who worked part-time at Village Market in Oakland has filed federal charges at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 5 (UFCW) union. The charge says UFCW 5 union officials illegally had Phil Holland fired in early September claiming he owed thousands of dollars in back dues and fees. Holland, a Navy veteran with 30 years’ of experience in law enforcement, who also works part-time as a YMCA fitness instructor, was hired by the Village Market grocery store that he shopped at for 30 years in February of 2022 after he noticed a “help wanted” sign in the window. During his first four years of employment, UFCW Local 5 union officials never contacted him, never asked him to pay union dues or fees, and never notified him of his legal rights under the 1988 Foundation-won CWA v. Beck Supreme Court decision, which protects employees from being required to pay full union dues for activities unrelated to union bargaining like union-boss political activism. This suddenly changed in May 2026 when UFCW Local 5 union officials began sending threatening messages “welcoming” him to the union and later demanding that he become a member or lose his job. Shortly after in July, UFCW Local 5 union bosses sent the part-time employee who worked 12 hours a week a letter demanding that he pay over $3,500 in retroactive dues and fees under the threat of termination. The union communication lacked the required information to inform him of his legal rights under the Beck decision. nrtw.org/news/veteran-filesc…

National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation Richmond-Area Penske Workers Latest to Eject Teamsters Following Unanimous Vote to End Teamsters’ So-Called ‘Representation’ - National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation Every day Teamsters bosses give workers new reasons not to want to associate with the union, and we are pleased to have assisted Mr. Cutrell and his coworkers in reclaiming their workplace freedom,” stated National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. “Foundation attorneys will continue to be a resource for all rank-and-file workers wanting to exercise their legal right to end their affiliation with the Teamsters.” Cutrell and his colleagues are the latest in a growing number of workers who have approached the Foundation to exercise their legal right to remove Teamsters union officials from their workplaces. In just the past few years, Foundation-assisted Penske employees have successfully removed unwanted union bosses from their facilities at several locations across the country, including Dallas, TX, Bloomington, IN, Eagan and Roseville, MN, Nashville, TN, and Swedesboro, NJ. Just this month, Foundation attorneys also secured a settlement for UPS worker and former Teamsters president Andrew Davis, in his dispute with the Teamsters over union bosses targeting him for informing his coworkers of their legal rights to not be union members and for filing charges against the union with the NLRB. Davis filed his charges after Teamsters officials falsely claimed, in front of his coworkers, that it was a “federal crime” to discuss how to resign their union membership. nrtw.org/news/virginia-pensk…
