This week the Foundation announced a special program for Chattanooga, TN's Volkswagen Employees and legal actions involving the Machinists and SEIU unions.
The Right to Work Foundation is Offering Free Legal Aid to Chattanooga Volkswagen Employees in response to a public report that the United Auto Workers union reportedly pressuring Volkswagen to allow UAW to bargain for all the plant's employees.

Mark Mix said, "The National Right to Work Foundation has seen again and again the UAW union hierarchy pressure companies to cut backroom deals designed to push workers into a union without employees' support."
"For example, UAW officials vetoed pay increases and secretly pre-negotiated bargaining concessions at the expense of Freightliner workers in North and South Carolina in exchange for company assistance in unionizing the workers."

Workers who feel they are being unfairly pressured when deciding whether or not to associate with the UAW union may request free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys by calling 1-800-336-3600 or on the Foundation's website at www.nrtw.org.
