SPFPA union officials continued to collect dues over workers’ objections despite majority vote by employees that ended mandatory payments

At the order of officials from the International Union of Security Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA), AKAL suspended Juan without pay for over a year because he had exercised his right under Texas’ Right to Work law to refuse to pay union dues. Texas is one of 24 Right to Work states that prohibit compulsory dues.
