A West Virginia union will only receive a slap on the wrist after falsely telling employees they were required to pay union dues after a ruling from the National Labor Relations Board.
West Virginia is a right-to-work state, which means no worker is required to join a union and pay dues as a condition of employment. Despite this law, union officials provided employees with dues checkoff authorization forms, which inaccurately told employees in large letters the form “must be signed.”
Kroger employee Shelby Krocker filed unfair labor practice charges against the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 400 union. Although NLRB Region 6 initially rejected her case, she successfully appealed it to former NLRB General Counsel Peter Robb who found the union did violate state law.
