First responders in Illinois trying to break free from unions
Fox News
Some paramedics and EMTs at the Galesburg Hospitals Ambulance Service in Galesburg, Illinois, are trying to assert their right to vote out the Teamsters Local 627.
"A lot of workers across the country are starting to exercise these decertification rights, and according to the National Labor Relations Board, last year unions only won about 20% of these elections," said Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation, which is offering the group legal counsel free of charge.
National Right to Work Foundation attorneys elsewhere in Illinois are also aiding Nick Salzmann and his fellow Village of Carpentersville part-time firefighters, who are attempting to decertify the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) affiliate in their workplace.
