ALBION, Neb.—A utility worker in Albion has filed a complaint with federal officials because of union rules that force him to continue paying dues even after he decided to quit.
So SourceGas employee James Getzfred complained about the rules of Communications Workers of America Local 7476. Getzfred is backed by the National Right to Work Foundation in the complaint.
Getzfred says he tried to quit the union in September. He says he was told he’d have to continue paying dues until a certain window of time the union designates.
No one at the union’s office in Hastings immediately responded to a message left on Thursday.
The foundation helping Getzfred says his complaint was filed with the National Labor Relations Board.
SourceGas is based in Lakewood, Colo., and has 94,000 residential customers in Nebraska.
