What We Do

We help public employees take charge of their workplace representation.

Decertify

If a majority of employees support it, a union can be dissolved outright, allowing for direct employer relationships and greater flexibility.

Independent Union

Independent unions are self-governing, provide employee control, lower dues, and can be formed by a core group of leaders.

Disaffiliation

Disaffiliation lets a local union sever ties with national affiliates, retaining its status and assets, but may face procedural challenges.

TRUSTED PARTNERS
We just wanted a union that put our students and our community first…we built exactly that. No politics, no top-down bureaucracy. Just real, local representation by teachers for teachers to better serve students.

Powers School District, OR
The Freedom Foundation was indispensable in helping us understand how to decertify. They guided us through every step of the way and made a process that can be somewhat confusing and intimidating far more manageable. Their support really made the difference and allowed us to get rid of a union that we felt no longer represented our interests.

They made it all very simple, and I’d recommend that anyone else interested in decertifying a poor performing union in their workplace get in touch with them.
