Description
Plaintiff-appellant Hammond appeals from a summary judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Western District
of Michigan dismissing his complaint as a matter of law. Hammond worked for the Watervliet Paper Company, which the Papermakers Union organized and from which it subsequently secured
a union shop agreement. With all due notice and warning as to the provisions of the union shop agreement, Hammond declined
to join the union because of his Seventh Day Adventist beliefs. He also declined (and does now) to pay the equivalent of the
union dues, whether he joined the union or not, on the ground that it would represent "striving" in violation of his religious
faith to support in any way any organization like the union.
