AFL Pushes to Curtail Labor Board Power Over Wagner Act
The AFL intensified its drive to amend the Wagner Act to deprive the National Labor Relations Board of arbitrary power. The move followed a NLRB ruling that Pennsylvania’s 202 anthracite operators employing about 115,000 miners form a single bargaining unit, a defeat for the Progressive Mine Workers of America and a strike against independent bargaining units at each mine.
