A trade union says West Virginia University and the state Senate concealed emails about right-to-work legislation, going against the state’s Freedom of Information Act.
The Register-Herald reports that the two lawsuits filed last week by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters contend $17,000 in state money was used to fund a study for the GOP’s anti-work objective, rather than independently studying the impact on the state and its citizens.
So-called “right to work” states prohibit companies from requiring employees to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
State lawmakers passed right-to-work legislation last week then voted to override Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s veto.
The lawsuits name Senate President Bill Cole, R-Mercer, House Speaker Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, WVU and Professor of Business and Economics John Deskins as defendants. The defendants didn’t return the newspaper’s requests for comment.
