2015 Survey Results

National Employee Freedom Week has released a series of scientific surveys to find out how many of those in union households want to leave their unions, how many think employees should be able to opt-out of union membership and how many know they have the ability to opt out of union membership without losing their job or facing any other penalty. The results show the need for NEFW’s mission of employee freedom.
