Rep. Dick Saslaw Introduces Forced Dues to Virginia

NEWS RELEASE: SASLAW INTRODUCES RIGHT TO WORK REPEAL BILL Springfield, VA (January 10, 2020) – National Right to Work Committee President Mark Mix today slammed Virginia Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw, charging he is both intellectually dishonest and acting against employee choice.

At issue is the fact that on the final day before the Virginia General Assembly opened, Senator Saslaw introduced Senate Bill 426, which would require workers to pay fees to a union boss as a condition of employment.

This happened despite statements during the campaign that he would not attack Virginia’s Right to Work Law.

“Make no mistake about it: If Virginia passes any law which forces workers to pay union dues — or “fees” by any name — to get or keep a job, that constitutes repeal of Virginia’s Right to Work Law,” said Mix.

Mix continued, “That’s true regardless of any word games union-label legislators attempt to play around the bill.”
