Frankly, I'm disgusted -- but not at all surprised -- by the union-boss thuggery on display at a downtown New York City hotel.
With free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation attorneys, a group of SoHo Marriott workers has filed a flurry of unfair labor practice charges against New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council Local 6 union organizers for a prolonged campaign of intimidation and harassment.
Union officials have used video cameras in employee changing rooms, accessed employee lockers and handled employees' personal possessions, and have even resorted to verbal abuse.
Union organizers even took photographs of front-desk clerk Gisel Rodriguez without her consent while she was changing her uniform in an employee changing room.
"I was wearing my uniform pants and my bra and holding my shirt to put it on when they started snapping pictures," Rodriguez told the New York Post.
"I have no idea what [the union organizer] could be doing with the pictures, and I think that's the worst part,"
Read the New York Post story here.
Disturbingly, the ugly campaign of harassment and intimidation has been aided by a so-called "neutrality agreement" between union organizers and Marriott officials.
The backroom deal allows union organizers unfettered access to the employees in order to install a union in the workplace while denying independent-minded workers' attempts to meet on company grounds to organize in opposition to the union.
Marriott workers are being subjected to a vicious campaign of intimidation –- including sexual harassment –- at the hands of forced-due-hungry union bosses and with the approval of weak-kneed company officials.
Despite the odds stacked against them, the workers unanimously signed a petition showing that they do not support the union hierarchy's presence in their workplace.
Yes, you read that correctly: EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE wants to remain independent and nonunion, but still the union siege continues.
Only now, these brave employees are fighting back with the help of their attorneys, provided by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.
Collusion like this between union organizers and company officials shows why the Foundation's strategic litigation program defending the individual rights of American workers is so vital.
That's why, if you can, please chip in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more today to help the Foundation provide free legal aid to victims of union-boss intimidation and other compulsory unionism abuses.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
