This notice is in no way intended to abridge or override the authority of federal agencies in the regulation of other labor disputes not under Texas jurisdiction. If you are making contributions to a union because of a union security clause, contact us and we will review the status of your employer to determine if your rights are being violated. Not all federal facilities are federal enclaves. Any action taken by this agency would be on behalf of the State of Texas and Texas right-to-work laws.īe aware that Texas laws will not apply if your work site is on a federal enclave. We cannot answer questions about the law or interpret the law for private individuals.
Please understand that this office is prohibited by law from providing legal counsel or representation to private individuals. If you do not wish to participate in union membership or contributions, but feel that you are required to do so, or that you will be disciplined or lose your job if you do not comply, you can report the situation under Texas right-to-work laws by contacting the OAG. If your employer has entered into a collective bargaining agreement with a union which requires employees to make payments to, or on behalf of, a labor union under the agreement as a condition of employment, (often referred to as a "union security clause"), your employer may be in violation of Texas right-to-work laws.
In other words, the choice of whether to join a labor union is yours you may not be required to join or pay dues to a union as a condition of employment, nor may you be denied employment because you have joined a union. Texas laws protect employees from threats, force, intimidation, or coercion for choosing to either participate or not participate in a union. This means that under the Texas Labor Code, a person cannot be denied employment because of membership or non-membership in a labor union or other labor organization.
