Frequently asked Questions
I thought Arizona was a “right-to-work” state. Is the ADC Labor Council a union?
The Fraternal Order of Police ADC Labor Council is a Union. We are dedicated to the betterment of all Arizona Department of Corrections personnel through representation of its members in labor relations matters.
Excerpt from The FOP Journal - August 2005
Right to Work Defined: In legalese, right to work more specifically means that otherwise-qualified employees are entitled to work at unionized workplaces without joining the associated unions or paying regular union dues. But right to work (non-union) employees might have to pay unions for the portion of dues spent representing them, such as pursuing grievances on their behalf.
In other words, under the right to work principle, workers don’t have to join unions or pay regular union dues to land or keep jobs. They may also cancel union membership at any time without losing their jobs. But they are still entitled to fair and equal union representation while working in bargaining units of unionized workplaces. However, they might have to pay unions for the cost of such representation.
