Labor board hearing set as House special committee probes NLRB
A House special committee plans public hearings next week on the National Labor Relations Board. The probe asks if the NLRB has been fair to employers and unions, whether the act reduces disputes and improves conditions, and if definitions of interstate commerce require tightening. The 1940 bills would address board validity of contracts, unit determinations, court reviews, notice, prejudice affidavits, and action timelines.

Labor Board Reform Sparks Political Debate in 1935
The Chamber argues a majority of voters should represent the majority, not all workers. A contentious rule allowing only workers or unions to petition for elections was rescinded on June 21. Roosevelt did not renominate Donald Wakefield Smith, replacing him with Dr. William M. Leiserson, who has opposed two members previously. CIO leader John L. Lewis labeled the board “reactionary” in October. A pending bill seeks to expand the Labor Relations board from three to five members.
