KAP - Attorney - National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation

About the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization whose mission is to eliminate compulsory unionism abuses through strategic litigation and public information programs. The Right to Work principle affirms the right of every American to earn a living without being forced to belong to a union. Despite this principle, millions of workers are compelled to associate with unions to keep their jobs. Since 1968, the Foundation has provided free legal aid to workers to enforce their rights against compulsory unionism and establish new legal precedents that expand those rights. Foundation attorneys have long been at the forefront of litigating key cases on this issue, including nearly every major Supreme Court case on forced unionism. The practice areas of Foundation attorneys include: Labor and administrative law before the National Labor Relations Board and other labor agencies; Constitutional law before federal courts; and Religious liberty law before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and courts.
