Ward case tests wartime powers and labor law balance
In essays and opinions across a wartime labor dispute, Sewell Avery and the Ward case are debated as to whether the President can in wartime order employer actions, the Supreme Court's stance on discriminatory discharges, and the limits of the Wagner act. The piece contrasts U.S. law with wartime authority, noting congressional inaction on a mandatory union dues contract and the implications for labor unions, employers, and democracy.
