If an anti-worker group like the Freedom Foundation (aka OptOutToday) sends you an email without your permission, they may be violating their email provider’s terms of service, and maybe even the law.

Follow these simple steps to report the spam. First, forward the email to these three addresses all in one email: (Choose the Washington or Oregon attorney general, depending your state.)

  support@vervemail.com  Freedom Foundation’s email provider
  spam@uce.gov The Federal Trade Commission
 Washington: CPRcontact@atg.wa.gov – Washington Attorney General
 Oregon: help@oregonconsumer.gov – Oregon Attorney General

Write: “The Freedom Foundation/Opt Out Today spammed me at work without my permission. Please take appropriate action and ask them to stop sending unsolicited emails.”

Then, just mark the email as “SPAM” or “JUNK.” In most cases, this automatically sends a warning message to their email provider.
