U.S. Department of Labor Issues Final Rule Requiring Government Contractors to Post Union Members' Rights U.S. Newswire
The final rules issued today implement the Executive Order which requires government contractors to post notices informing employees that they cannot be forced to join a union in order to keep their jobs. These notices must also advise non-union employees who have entered into union-security agreements that they can object to their dues or fees being used for purposes other than collective bargaining, contract administration or grievance adjustment. Those employees are entitled to an appropriate reduction in fees or dues and a refund for past payments used for the objected purposes.
