National Labor Board tightens unions' liability in strikes
A 3 to 2 NLRB ruling holds international unions liable for acts of their locals in a Petaluma California strike at Sunset Line and Twine. The majority says officials need not authorize violence to be responsible, while the dissent argues lack of proof of participation. Mass picketing and intimidation practices are addressed, with potential federal court enforcement if promises fail.
