A pro-life Tennessee worker won a settlement from the Laborers International Union of North America this month after she objected to paying dues because of the union’s pro-abortion stance.
The Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle reports Dorothy Frame, a pro-life Catholic from Fort Campbell, sued the union in 2019 after her request for a religious exemption was refused.
She recently reached a settlement in the case, with the union agreeing to pay $10,000 and write a letter of apology, according to the report.
“No American worker should have to pay tribute to a union they oppose just to keep their job, whether their objections are religious or otherwise,” said Mark Mix, president of National Right to Work Foundation, which represented Frame in the case.
Mix praised Frame for standing strong for her beliefs, adding, “Big Labor’s government-granted privilege to force rank-and-file workers to support their activities creates a breeding ground for such malfeasance and anti-worker abuse.”
Frame worked as an environmental service worker at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital when she sued LIUNA for discrimination, the local news reports.
In the lawsuit, she said she believes it is wrong to pay union dues to LIUNA because of its pro-abortion stance. Frame said she requested a religious exemption but was refused.

Even after she filed her lawsuit, she said LIUNA kept taking dues out of her paycheck.Here’s more from the report: At the time, LIUNA lawyers demanded that Frame provide “legitimate justification” for why her beliefs and union activity conflicted. According to Frame’s complaint, a union lawyer said that Frame’s understanding of her faith was “inferior to his own understanding her faith.” … [This month,] LIUNA agreed to the settlement on the condition that the lawsuit was dropped.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
