Labor challenge May hamstrings Taft Hartley law guidance
Washington Aug 26 Officials of the National Labor Relations Board voiced private concern that a union challenge could delay applying the Taft Hartley Act to 3500 old NLRB cases. CIO unions weighed court action arguing the act only recently took full effect and major cases arose under the Wagner Act. Denham said old cases could be reviewed under the new law with possible modifications. He cited a Gloversville case where eight CIO members were reinstated while the union’s leadership faced questions over Communist ties. He noted the Printers Union's stance on contracts and referenced the Heinz decision requiring signed contracts for conditions of employment.
