The National Right to Work Foundation has been actively participating in discussions with the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, shedding light on practices by union leaders that it claims undermine worker freedom. The Foundation's representatives have made several appearances before Congress, emphasizing what they see as coercive tactics used by union bosses.
William Messenger, Vice President and Legal Director of the Foundation, testified at a hearing titled “Big Labor Lies: Exposing Union Tactics to Undermine Free and Fair Elections.” He highlighted concerns over federal labor policies that he believes allow unions to bypass secret ballot elections, thus depriving workers of fundamental voting rights when their workplaces are targeted for unionization.
In July, MIT Ph.D. student Will Sussman shared his experience before the U.S. House regarding alleged discrimination by MIT Graduate Student Union officials. Sussman reported being pressured to fund union activities that conflicted with his religious beliefs, despite voicing objections to what he described as anti-Israel stances taken by the union.
