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 dissolved the union, we formed our own local leadership council, we pay significantly less, we’re in control, and we’re very happy with the outcome.

We honestly cannot thank the Freedom Foundation enough for its help with all of this. Their knowledge and resources were invaluable and one of the main reasons we were successful. Navigating a process like this can be pretty daunting, but I’d recommend them to anyone interested in following our path.

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.
