Weirton Steel Case Declares Section 7-A unconstitutional
Federal Judge John P. Neilds ruled Section 7-A of the National Industrial Recovery Act unconstitutional as applied to Weirton Steel, denying the government injunction against company union bargaining. The decision sides with Weirton, arguing the section exceeds Congress power and does not regulate interstate commerce. Authority cited includes Commerce Clause limits and the Constitution’s welfare provisions. The ruling mirrors broader NRA labor clause challenges ongoing in major steel and manufacturing firms.
