A student at Dartmouth files allegations of spiritual discrimination and forced union dues against United Electrical Workers, a “practically universal” problem, according to the worker freedom movement.
A Christian Dartmouth University undergraduate has filed a national lawsuit against his coalition for paying taxes to promote anti-Israel opinions.
According to his two problems to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, graduate student in mathematics Benjamin Logsdon objects to funding the Graduate Organized Laborers of Dartmouth because of his” sincerely held religious ideas.”
A legal team representing him claims that he wants to remove his union dues as well as his opposition to the union’s “monopoly picture.”
According to a press release from the National Right to Work Foundation,” Logsdon’s allegations position that he is opposed to being forced to pay union charges as well as to GOLD-UE union leaders ‘ monopoly picture forces that affect him as a member of the graduate student body.” The employee flexibility organization is bringing up Logsdon and has written more in-depth remarks to The College Fix.
Forced union taxes are a “practically common” problem, Vice President Patrick Semmens told The Fix via a press statement. The ability to establish a monopoly “representation” on everyone in a unionized work system, even those who are n’t users, voted against the coalition, or otherwise disagree with it is the dominant federation privilege in the United States.
The organization is bringing together other graduate students who are opposed to forced labor at MIT and abroad.
” This issue is practically universal, especially given the fact that the most common union privilege in the United States is the ability to impose a monopoly on “representation” on everyone in a unionized work unit, even those who are n’t members, voted against the union, or otherwise oppose it,” he said.
The issue is made worse on university campuses across the nation because school unions are more socially extraordinary and utilize their negotiation power to implement this ideology both inside and outside the classroom, causing a decline in academic freedom, according to Semmens.

Logsdon is still waiting for a reply from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, where he filed the allegations against both his local and national United Electrical Workers coalition. The EEOC does establish Logsdon’s next steps.
The EEOC has the option of taking the case itself and prosecuting the coalition in federal court, according to Semmens, or it can grant Logsdon a “right to jane” letter that will enable him to bring a lawsuit against the union in federal court.
The EEOC’s website says that “it takes them around 10 months to research a charge”, according to Semmens.
Semmens is optimistic that the National Right to Work Foundation may achieve a positive result before moving forward with any further steps.
According to him, “in a recent similar case at MIT ,]graduate student union ] officials were forced to make religious accommodations for a number of Jewish students who opposed joining or paying union dues due,” he claimed. Officials from Union first tried to ignore the requests from graduate students, but they almost instantly backed down when Foundation attorneys started to speak out.
Dartmouth’s federation did not respond to two letters sent in the past week asking for feedback on Logsdon’s charges. The Fix even emailed the internet phone for the United Electrical Workers, the family union for GOLD-UE, and received no response. The Fix therefore called the GOLD-UE internet email, but the phone never returned.
Both unions requested a comment to the problems and a statement explaining their positions on the Middle East conflict.
