Dear Conservatives, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Parents often rely on this old proverb to teach their children the value of discipline and hard work. Unfortunately, it's also become the dogma of the unethical United Auto Workers (UAW) union bosses who refuse to take "No" for an answer, especially when rank and file workers deliver their "No" in the form of a secret-ballot election. Earlier this year, the UAW union hierarchy, Volkswagen, and the Obama Labor Board conspired to rig a unionization election in Tennessee in the union's favor, but independent-minded workers prevailed. Union bosses and management are still colluding months later to ignore the workers' choice against unionization -- and they are doing it with the help of union bosses in Germany. But the foreign union-boss groups conspiring to force American workers into union ranks are not complying with federal disclosure requirements. You see, federal labor law requires union officials to make comprehensive and detailed disclosure of union financial data and full reporting by union officers of conflicts of interest. That's why I recently wrote a letter asking the Secretary of Labor to demand the foreign union bosses comply with federal disclosure law. Volkswagen workers deserve to know what inside arrangements exist among Volkswagen and American and foreign union bosses, especially as the workers continue to face the threat of a coercive card check organizing scheme. A couple of weeks ago, Volkswagen announced a new policy designed to further grease the skids for unionization in Chattanooga. The policy leaves the door wide open for the company to recognize the UAW via a coercive card check campaign and without a secret-ballot vote. We know from experience that union organizers often lie and mislead workers into signing cards, and this new policy makes it even more likely that workers will be misled into signing cards that can later be used to impose the UAW on all workers, even those who want nothing to do with it. That's precisely what happened in Chattanooga before your Foundation stepped in to provide free legal aid to victimized workers and exposed the UAW's aggressive card check tactics in the press. When management and union bosses collude at the expense of individual workers, those workers are seemingly left without defense. That's why I'm so grateful your support has enabled the Foundation to keep workers informed of their rights and provide them with free legal aid. Without your continued support, these workers would otherwise stand alone. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Mix P.S.
