Title: Obligation of Federal Contractors and Subcontractors, Notice of Employee Rights Concerning Payment of Union Dues or Fees
Abstract: On January 2, 2002, the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia issued a decision in UAW-Labor Employment & Training Corp v. Chao, holding the Executive Order 13201 is invalid because it conflicts with the National Labor Relations Act. The court permanently enjoined the Department of Labor from implementing and enforcing Executive Order 13201. The decision was appealed. On April 22, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed the January 2, 2002, decision of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia in UAW-Labor Employment and Training Corp. v. Chao, and directed the lower court to grant summary judgment in favor of the Secretary of Labor. This regulation would implement E.O. 13201 which requires Government contractors and subcontractors to post notices informing their employees that (1) under Federal law they cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership in a union to retain their jobs, and (2) employees who choose not to be union members may object to the use of their compulsory union dues and fees for activities other than collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment, and may be entitled to a refund and an appropriate reduction in their future payments. The proposed regulation, in accordance with E.O. 13201, would also require that, where applicable, each Government contracting agency include certain provisions of the Order in its Government contracts, and that Government contractors and subcontractors include these provisions in their nonexempt subcontracts and purchase orders.
