Arguments Stated In Labor Case Before NLRB
The AFL-CIO reluctance to bargain with its own employers’ union, the Field Representatives Federation FRF, comes before the National Labor Relations Board. The FRF sought recognition and a contract from AFL CIO but was rebuffed. AFL CIO president George Meany demanded proof of FRF majority support. Earlier this year FRF pressed for a NLRB held election to prove majority and force bargaining. AFL CIO then fired or transferred about 100 of its 215 organizers, shrinking FRF’s potential membership.
