UPS Worker Wins Federal Settlement against Teamster Union for Ignoring Her Rights Under Michigan's Right to Work Law - NRTW
Teamster union officials stonewalled worker's attempts to refrain from dues payments
With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, a Traverse City UPS worker has won a federal settlement against a local Teamster union for violating her rights.
Lisa Plamondon, a 30-year UPS employee, won the settlement from the Teamster Local 406 union after she filed charges against the union and her employer with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Because Michigan did not have a Right to Work law making union dues payments completely voluntary, Plamondon was a member of the union from 1983 until 1997. In 1997, Plamondon resigned her union membership, but still had to pay union dues and fees to keep her job.
