On June 27, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that unions can use forced union dues to finance politicking which most workers oppose. This appalling decision means that the big union elite will continue to force dues-paying workers to associate associate with the NDP and political political causes which most workers want nothing to do with. The facts speak for themselves themselves - only a small minority minority of unionized workers vote for the NDP at elections but the NDP is the only party supported by the big union elite. The case was fought for six long years by a courageous courageous Canadian, Merv La- vign. Opposing him were: the Canadian Labour Congress; the National Union of Provincial Provincial Government Employees; Employees; the Ontario Federation of Labour; the Ontario Public Public Service Employees' Union; Union; the Confederation of National Trade Unions and the Attorneys General of Canada, Ontario and Quebec. Quebec. Unfortunately, the Supreme Supreme Court of Canada sided sided with big unions and big government, against free- ! dom. Despite this setback, ; Merv Lavifjne and The National National Citizens' Coalition, ; which paid his legal fees, aren't giving up tne fight. They have established the ;. "NCC Merv Lavignc Fund" to provide assistance to oth- p '. er victims of forced union- ism across Canada. \ There is no shame is suf- ! • fering a setback while fight- > I ing for the cause of freedom. 1: There is only shame in shar " ing the fight, Wo shall not tne fight for free give up dom.
