	FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code
		Petitioner Communications Workers of America (CWA) entered into a collective-bargaining agreement that contains a union-security clause under which all represented employees who do not become union members must pay the union "agency fees" in amounts equal to the dues paid by union members.
		Instead, the necessity of deciding the scope of 8(a)(3) arose because CWA and its copetitioner local unions sought to defend themselves on the ground that the statute authorizes the type of union-security agreement in issue.
		These unions, of course, were legally obligated to represent the interests of all workers, including those who did not become members; thus nonunion workers were able, at no expense to themselves, to share in all the benefits the unions obtained through collective bargaining.

		Family members and co-workers of the miners who lost their lives designated the Mine Workers to represent them in the probe, as was their right under the federal Mine Safety and Health Act (MSHA).
		Reversing a lower federal court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit ruled that Wal-Mart workers are allowed to proceed with their lawsuit charging the company with violating the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by excluding union members from receiving the company's pension and health benefits.
		In 2001, Wal-Mart changed its 401(k) and health plans to include a clause that stated, "Contractually excluded and certain other union represented associates are not eligible for coverage." The workers claim this move was an effort to keep workers from joining a union because they believed they would lose their benefits.
