National Right to Work Committee

The massive corruption allegations coming out of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers headquarters in Kansas City, MO, would make even Tony Soprano blush. Federal prosecutors say union bosses treated workers’ dues money like their own “personal piggy banks,” blowing millions on luxury travel, no-show jobs, flagrant nepotism, lavish perks, and sweetheart payouts while rank-and-file members footed the bill. Several former officials have already pleaded guilty in the alleged $20 million racketeering scheme. This is exactly what happens when union kingpins operate without accountability and workers are forced to pay union dues -- even to one as corrupt as the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers -- just to keep their jobs. Only a Right to Work law will give workers the freedom to vote with their feet by not having to finance flagrant corruption like this.

Mark Mix joins Stacy Washington on her SiriusXM program to break down the shocking case of Southwest flight attendant Charlene Carter. Charlene spent nearly 10 years fighting back against union officials who had her fired for speaking out against their far-left political agenda, all financed through forced union dues. She won in court, exposed the union’s abuse, and secured a massive legal victory. Yet unbelievably, federal labor law still forces her to financially support the very union responsible for getting her fired. That tells you everything you need to know about the corrupt forced-unionism system Big Labor and its political allies are desperate to protect. Workers should have the right to say NO to paying dues to a labor union -- period. That’s why your support for the National Right to Work Act (S. 533/H.R. 1232) is so important. It would help restore freedom in the workplace and ensure no one else has to endure the kind of ordeal Charlene Carter went through — and continues to endure. youtube.com/watch?v=-Wb9tu…

Big Labor and Biden’s bureaucrats never cared about “worker freedom.” They cared about power and forced union dues. The Department of Labor’s OWN data showed that 79% of independent contractors prefer independence over traditional employment. Americans want flexibility, freedom, and control over their own work/life balance. But the Biden labor agenda tried to destroy independent contracting anyway. Why? Because independent contractors can’t easily be unionized and forced to bankroll union bosses’ political machine. That was the real goal all along: strip workers of independence so union officials could collect more dues money. Millions of freelancers, gig workers, truckers, writers, and self-employed Americans fought back because they knew this wasn’t about protecting workers; it was about protecting union power. Yet, despite this clear message from independent workers everywhere, some so-called Republican strategists are STILL pushing this pro-Big Labor agenda. Former Mitt Romney staffer Oren Cass and his American Compass think tank keep telling Republicans that appeasing union bosses is somehow a “winning” political strategy. Mark Mix pointed out that while there are troubling signs inside the Trump Administration --including the unmitigated disaster of Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Labor Secretary-- recent actions by Trump agencies protecting independent contractors and franchise employees show President Trump himself is not fully buying into Big Labor’s agenda.

Republicans spent years condemning Obama’s pro-Big Labor agenda … only for Josh Hawley to dust it off and slap a new label on it. Check out this excellent piece by Michael Watson at the Capital Research Center exposing Hawley’s latest Big Labor stunt. Watson lays out how Hawley’s so-called “Faster Labor Contracts Act” is an Obama-era scheme repackaged for gullible Republicans, designed to trap more workers under union boss control and hand even more power to Big Labor. Big Labor already bankrolls the radical Left, from AOC to Ilhan Omar, all while pushing power grabs like the PRO Act and the destruction of Right to Work laws. Now Republicans like Hawley are trying to win union boss approval by keeping the same failed labor policies alive. American workers don’t need politicians courting union bosses. They need politicians willing to stand up to them. capitalresearch.org/article/a-repu…

Charlene Carter just won a huge case against union bosses who got her fired for daring to disagree with how union officials used her forced dues for political causes she opposed. Justice served, right? Not so fast. After nearly a decade in court and despite this legal victory… Carter STILL has to pay dues to the same union. Big Labor can have you fired from your job, lose in court, even end up paying a substantial settlement, and still force you to fund them anyway, all thanks to politicians they bankroll with billions in forced dues. If that sounds insane, it’s because it is. Until forced unionism is abolished, this will keep happening. Period. Time to pass the National Right to Work Act and end this nonsense for good. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

The American Federation of Teachers union hates America, hates parents, and hates the children they pretend to teach. While kids struggle with learning loss and collapsing test scores, Randi Weingarten’s union (remember them? They’re the ones who shut down schools for more than two years during COVID) is busy bullying companies, organizing street protests, pushing radical ideology, and using students as props in political theater. “No Kings” protests. May Day rallies alongside the Communist Party. Classroom agendas obsessed with “white supremacy.” This isn’t education. It’s indoctrination. And it’s all funded by teachers’ dues and pension money that’s supposed to support educators and students -- not bankroll partisan activism and corporate intimidation campaigns. Of course, not mentioned in this otherwise excellent Spectator piece is that, thanks to the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation’s hard-fought Supreme Court Janus decision, no teacher or public employee in America has to join . . . much less give a penny . . . to a labor union. spectator.com/article/why-is…

Workers across the country are discovering a hard truth: like a roach motel, once you get into a labor union, you can’t get out. And the biggest roach motel of them all appears to be run by Josh Hawley’s favorite union boss, Sean O’Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Not far behind for roach-like accommodations is the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Whether it’s intimidation aimed at workers brave enough to push for a decertification vote, or shady and arcane legal maneuvers, the message is clear: escaping bad union representation is anything but easy. Workers fed up with ineffective -- or outright incompetent -- union officials are finding themselves trapped. That’s where the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation steps in, providing free, pro bono legal aid to help workers cut through the red tape and break free from unwanted union boss control. reason.com/2026/05/01/wor…

Mark Mix on NTD News with an incredible story. Charlene Carter was fired after objecting to her union dues being used for politics she opposes. With free help from National Right to Work attorneys, she fought back and exposed just how broken the system really is. She took on Southwest Airlines and the Transport Workers Union, fought for nearly a decade... and WON nearly $1 MILLION. And yet, she’s STILL forced to pay that same union just to keep her job. Let that sink in. Victory in court is great. But real freedom means ending forced unionism altogether. That’s why passage of the National Right to Work law is so important. Charlene stood up. Now it’s on the rest of us to finish the job. youtu.be/Agz6jvFY9qk?si…

Nevada’s 73-year-old Right to Work law is on the chopping block, and Democratic gubernatorial candidate and Attorney General Aaron Ford has made the centerpiece of his campaign crystal clear: “I’m getting rid of it.” This isn’t just policy. It’s a direct attack on basic individual liberty. No Nevadan should be forced to join a union or compelled to fund agendas they oppose just to keep a job. As Mark Mix put it: “It is a fundamental individual liberty to do with your labor what you want to do or to speak to your employer the way you want to.” And the stakes go beyond individual freedom. Right-to-work states consistently lead the nation in private-sector manufacturing job growth. Mix warned, “Aaron Ford is putting the economic vitality of the state of Nevada in jeopardy, too.” Aaron Ford isn’t just campaigning. He’s gambling with Nevada’s economic future. Hardworking Nevadans deserve to make their own choices -- not have them dictated by liberty-loathing politicians like Ford and his union boss patrons. reviewjournal.com/news/politics-…

It's May Day and union bosses are putting their radical political activism on full display. Here are the tools workers can use to stop funding radical union politics with their union dues: ✅ Right to Work laws ✅ Janus v. AFSCME ✅ Religious Objector ✅ Beck rights 🧵👇

Big Labor politicians in Illinois aren’t even pretending anymore. According to this report, nearly the entire U.S. House delegation from Chicago (all union-label Democrats) rushed to defend the Chicago Teachers Union -- not the rank-and-file educators, but the union bosses -- even as serious questions were raised about the union flouting its own rules and showing contempt for its own members. Let that sink in. Instead of demanding accountability, these union-bought-and-paid-for politicians attacked investigators for simply asking questions. nrtwc.org/big-labor-poli…

Hey, look, Democrat Senate candidate @ZachWahls, who is looking to replace retiring Republican Senator Joni Ernst, has answered his Right to Work candidate survey. I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised, given that he has pledged to support Big Labor’s so-called “PRO Act.” If you’re not familiar with the PRO Act, it’s a massive smorgasbord of every power grab union bosses have dreamed up over the last 60 years. First and foremost, it would wipe out all state Right to Work laws — including Iowa’s Right to Work law, which has protected Iowa workers from being forced into unions against their will for 79 years. The legislation would also impose ambush union elections and binding arbitration for union contracts, legalize secondary boycotts, kill the gig economy, and more. It’s good for Iowans to know where their candidates stand on important issues.

@emilybrooksnews You don't 'appeal to union workers' by sucking up to Socialist union bosses who want to force workers to pay them money.

Where does the GOP-labor relationship go after Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s exit? She was an exiting pick for unions and the New Right; free-marketers are happy to say bye. Trump could make another gesture with a replacement Labor Secretary if he wants to, but the next signals in the GOP-labor realignment -- or unalignment -- could come in Congress first.

Mark Mix sits down with John Fredricks and breaks down the Virginia public employee monopoly bargaining bill sitting on Abigail Spanberger’s desk RIGHT NOW. If she does nothing → it becomes law. Think higher taxes. More bureaucracy. Less freedom for Virginia’s city and state employees. Watch this . . . youtu.be/1tcpDUf7yio?si…

Teamster boss Sean O’Brien’s favorite Republican Senator, Josh Hawley of Missouri, has wrangled Senator Roger Marshall as a cosponsor for his so-called “Faster Labor Contracts Act.” Hawley may have given his bill a name that sounds harmless, but it would give federal bureaucrats and union bosses the power to dictate contract terms — even over the objections of the workers themselves. That’s not freedom. That’s compulsion. What’s more shocking is that Marshall represents the strong right-to-work state of Kansas. Yet it seems that Marshall, like Hawley, has lost his way and is now more interested in currying favor with the Big Labor bosses rather than faithfully representing the freedom-loving citizens in his own home state.

Ding-dong DeRemer’s gone. Hardly a surprise that an unvetted Labor Secretary hand-picked by the top Teamster boss would summarily bow out after a scandal-ridden year marked by overall incompetence. Of course, the writing was already on the wall long before her appointment as Secretary of Labor when Lori Chavez-DeRemer voted for Big Labor’s PRO Act during her freshman year in Congress. The DeRemer debacle is the perfect case study of why it’s a bad idea for Republicans to suck up to union bosses. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…
