In commemoration of
the 34th anniversary of
Section 14(b) of the Taft-
Hartley Act, Senator
Roger Jepsen (R-Ia.)
introduced legislation to
repeal those portions of
federal law which grant
union officials the power
to force workers into
unwanted unions.
His initiative parallels
Representative Mickey
Edwards' ( ROk. > earlier
introduction of freedom
of choice legislation in
the US House of
Representatives.
“The introduction of
this legislation to repeal
the existing sanction of
compulsory unionism in
U S labor law is the first
step in restoring the First
Amendment guarantee of
freedom of association of
every working
American.” National
Right to Work Committee
President Reed Larson
said
Section 14(b) of the 1947
Taft-Hartley amend-
ments empowers states
to shield their citizens
from compulsory
unionism with Right to
Work laws.
To date, 20 states
safeguard the right of
wage earners to work at
their occupations as
voluntary union mem-
bers or independent
workers. The legislation
introduced by Senator
Jepsen and Represen
tative Edwards would
make this protection
universal.
“Even in states where
forced unionism con-
straints have been
said, “free choice ad-
vocates are assuming
leadership and halting
the spread of coercion.”
Larson said that union
lobbyists introduced over
180 compulsory unionism
bills in 43 states since the
beginning of the year, but
added, ‘‘They were
defeated in virtually
every case ”
