National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation

The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation (NRTWLDF) is an non-profit 501(c)3 non-profit organization that launches legal actions against labor organizations. "No force is inflicting more damage on our economy, citizenry, and cherished democracy than the union bosses," it claims on its website.

The NRTWLDF was founded in 1968. They say: "The National Right to Work Committee was then active in Congress and state legislatures...but it was not structured to give legal aid. So by 1968, the time had come...rather than working in the legislative arena, such an organization could fight through the court system."
