Labor Law -- 2002



Mulder v. NLRB   (U.S. Supreme Court)

Using compulsory union dues for organizing another company

The NAM and Associated Builders & Contractors filed an amicus brief supporting a petition for cert. in this case involving union dues. We argue that employees may not be required to pay portion of union dues for organizing a competitor’s business, since such expenditures by unions are not germane to collective bargaining and violate prohibitions in the 1988 Beck case.
