Labor Code Ruling Clears Air on Local Unions In Industry
Washington August 23 Any and all attempts to interpret the collective bargaining provision of the recovery act within coal and automobile codes are ruled out of order by administrator Hugh S Johnson. The ruling states that the law does not forbid local labor organizations composed of employees of a single company and directs code revisions to remove any qualifications that conflict with workers rights to organize. Officials foresee the decision will ease capital labor disputes as Johnson pressures swift code alignment with the recovery program.
