Workers expect representation--not retaliation--from their unions. But teacher James MacCarthy (pictured) says his union helped an anonymous accuser file a complaint against him after he disagreed with union officials.

Teacher Angela Arancio says union officials dissolved her committee when she pushed officials to advocate for teachers' priorities.

Police officer Chris Leary says his union publicly condemned him and suspended his membership after he demanded representation he believed he was owed.

The Fairness Center is representing each of these employees--for free--in their fights to get the fair treatment they deserve from their unions.

A decade apart, two teachers found out through the mail that their union was spending their money on politics.

Mary (left) found a letter from her union urging HER HUSBAND to "join Mary" in voting for a candidate she didn't even support.

10 years later Ann Marie (right) found out that her union had sent $40 million of teachers' dues to a PAC supporting THE UNION'S OWN PRESIDENT in his run for governor.

We represented both teachers in their fight for accountability.

Now, they are suing their unions, and--as Fairness Center president Nathan McGrath writes--judges recently took Mindy's side.

Our client, Prof. Earl Ormond, tells Hearst CT: "Transparency is the buzzword for the last decade or so, right? If [union officials are] proud of where the money’s being spent, you’d think that they would be proud to show it to all of us."
