Creating Community
BY DR. ELLEN L. BURNS
The following is a portion
of a position paper written by
Father Joseph Biltz, STD, of
the Little Rock Diocese.
A ‘Right-to-work’ law may
be defined as an act which
forbids an employer to
require an employee to be a
member of a union as a
condition for obtaining or
retaining employment. The
history of such legislation is
pertinent to the present
discussion. Prior to 1935, the
right of workers to organize
into unions of their own
choosing was often denied by
American employers. The
National Labor Relations
Act, passed in 1935 and
declared constitutional in
1937, was the first
fully-effective legal guarantee
of this natural right. Under
this act, the federal
government protected
workers who wished to join
unions, provided that they
were employed in industries
subject to federal jurisdiction.
Under our Constitution,
the federal act superseded all
state laws where interstate
commerce was affected.
However, when this Act was
replaced in 1947 by the
Labor-Management Relations
Act (Taft-Hartley Act), an
unusual constitutional device
was used. In matters of union
security, the Congress gave
the states concurrent
jurisdiction, provided only
state laws were more
restrictive than the federal
law. Under the impetus of
this provision, many states
enacted ‘Right-to-Work’ laws.
In general, the effect Of
such laws is to prohibit all
types of compulsory union
membership. The closed shop
was already outlawed by the
1947 federal act. The state
laws go further and forbid the
union shop, maintenance of
membership; and other forms
of modified union security.
While such laws may not
constitutionally deny labor’s
right to organize into freely
chosen unions, they do
outlaw a traditional form of
union - management
relationship sanctioned by
long usage in our country,
namely, and principally, the
union shop, where the
employee is required to join
the union within a certain
period of time after being
hired.
As a first point' we wish to
note that the common title of
these laws is in itself a matter
of debate. Opponents of
‘Right-to-Work’ laws claim
that the title is a play on
words used to cloak the real
purpose of the laws, which is
to enforce further restrictions
upon union activity. In other
words, the very title
‘Right-to-Work’ is deceptive.
Such laws do not provide the
right to jobs for workers nor
fair wages; they merely
prevent workers from
building strong and stable
unions. In 1954, the Supreme
Court of Idaho took judicial
notice of this fact, by
refusing to permit such a
deceptive title on an initiative
measure to be proposed to
the voters.
It should also be noted
that the pressure for such
legislation does not ordinarily
arise from workers seeking
their “rights.” Proponents of
these measures are uniformly
employers’ organizations and
related groups. Often such
laws are part of a program by
economically underdeveloped
states, seeking to attract
industry by the lure of a
docile and low-paid labor
force. Proponents of the
‘Right-to-Work’ law in
Arkansas cite statistical
increase of industries in the
state and percentage increase
in the state’s economic
growth and attribute this in
large measure to the
‘Right-to-Work’ law.
Opponents to the
‘Right-to-Work’ law question
the quality of such industrial
growth as well as the
percentage economic growth
by citing low hourly wages
and low per capita income
statistics in Arkansas as
falling further and further
behind the national average
and behind states without
‘Right-to-Work’ laws. They
cite that Arkansas is still 49th
in the nation in per capita
income.
Another principal element
in the discussion which is
partly political, and partly
ethical, centers around the
notion of freedom. It asserts
that compulsory union
membership is contrary to
the American tradition of
freedom. We will consider the
ethical or moral aspects of
this argument subsequently.
From the political point of
view, the political slogan
involved is superficially
attractive, but is in reality

dangerously false. American
freedom has never been
absolute and anarchic. On the
contrary, the genius of our
Constitution lies in its unique
combination of divided
authority and balance of
powers. No individual and no
agency of government, at
whatever level, has unlimited
freedom. Our nation rejected
the Articles of Confederation
as unworkable, precisely
because they did not impose
the discipline of ordered
freedom upon the several
states. The excessive freedom
of the Articles was tearing
apart the Union. Later, in the
tragic War between the
States, our nation had to act
to preserve unity against the
claims of those who pushed
freedom beyond the bounds
of our Constitution. From a
political point of view, true
freedom must be conjoined
to the common good.
We wish also to note the
elements of verbal deception
in this argument concerning
“freedom.” Its proponents
are claiming for workers a
“freedom” which most do
not desire. Under the
Labor-Management Relations
Act (Taft-Hartley Act), a
union might secure a union
shop, or other forms of
security, only after a majority
of the affected workers had
approved such a request in a
federally-conducted secret
ballot. In nearly fifty
thousand elections involving
over 6,000,000 workers, the
union shop was approved in
ninety-seven per cent of the
cases. Ninety-one per cent of
the workers involved favored
the union shop. So uniform
was the response, in fact, that
the requirement for a vote
was dropped from the law in
1951.
INTERIOR OF THE NEW Our Lady dedicated by Archbishop Donnellan on
of La Salette Church, which will be April 24.
OUR LADY OF LA SALETTE
New Mission Church For Canton
For the past eight or nine years the
Catholic Community of Cherokee and Pickens
Counties gathered on Sunday mornings in the
display kitchen of the Georgia Power
Company in Canton for the celebration of
Mass. Their numbers over these years grew
from a handful in 1969 to some 45 families at
present. Children would sit in a corridor for
C.C.D. instructions, the women held their
Guild meetings outside on the curb, and the
priest celebrated Mass on a makeshift altar
facing the sink and stove.
All that is changed now. A new
multi-purpose Church, named in honor of Our
Lady of La Salette, has recently been erected
some four miles north of Canton and will be
blessed and dedicated by Archbishop Thomas
Donnellan on Sunday, April 24th, at 1 p.m.
The new church will seat some 185
worshippers and has dividers that make five
class rooms. By rearrangement of the seating
and sanctuary, the building can be converted
into a social hall in a matter of minutes.
Mass was celebrated for the first time on
Christmas Eve and on February 2nd a Mass of
Thanksgiving and a Pot Luck Supper was
attended by the Catholic Communities of
Cherokee and Pickens Counties. The Mission
of Canton is staffed by the La Salette Fathers
from Cartersville, Father Steve Dressell and
Father Thomas Carroll.
IRISH
The Hibernian Benevolent Society' of Atlanta,
founded in 1858, now welcomes new members. Irish

further information call 361-1848.
