Supreme Court limits unions power to discipline strikers
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that unions may not discipline members who quit a strike and return to work, a move supported by some as protecting voluntary unionism but criticized by others as weakening collective action. The decision leaves Congress as the path to grant explicit penalties against defectors. The case involved the Pattern Makers' League of North America striking Rockford, Illinois, and Beloit, Wisconsin, with eleven members quitting and ten fined.
