“The so-called ‘Right to Work Foundation’ is not welcome at Maine Med,” O’Sullivan added, “and it’s not welcome in Maine.”
According to the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), the foundation has “supplied the lawyers for most of the anti-union cases before the U.S. Supreme Court,” including the infamous Janus v. AFSCME case in which the high court ruled that public-sector unions can’t require non-members to pay fair-share fees to help cover collective bargaining costs.
CMD notes that the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has ties to the Koch network.
