Michigan truck driver files coercion charge against UAW union


A truck driver in Michigan filed a charge of coercion against the United Auto Workers union for keeping her from exercising her right to quit the union and stop paying dues, according to the National Right to Work Foundation.
Michigan became the 24th so-called "right-to-work" U.S. state after a contentious battle in the state's legislature in December 2012. This means that workers cannot be required to join a union or be forced to pay union dues.
Kathleen Sulkowski, a driver for CEVA Logistics U.S., Inc, filed the charge on Wednesday at the Detroit office of the National Labor Relations Board, the right-to-work group said.
