	Critical Review of the District Councils
		However, in several of the 10 districts studied it was clear that people felt a pride in having their own district council.

		In several districts informal alternative bodies had been formed by people who felt that they would be in a better position to represent their district.

	District Councils Nos
		The District Councils argue however that there is no evidence that Matulis or, for that matter, anyone else who objected to the payment of dues, ever worked under the contract in their jurisdiction and/or had District Council dues deducted from his or her paycheck and remitted to the District Councils.
		There is no doubt that the District Councils did not respond to Matulis when informed that he was resigning his membership in Local 4 and objecting to the payment of union security obligated fees expended by the Unions for nonrepresentational activities.
		I found that the District Councils wrongfully caused dues deductions to be made from Matulis’ wages and remitted to the District Councils in violation of Section 8(b)(1)(A) of the Act and therefore sustained the portion of the General Counsel’s complaint subparagraph 11(e) alleging that violation.
