Court upholds food stamp ban in labor dispute policy
The Supreme Court in a five to three ruling upholds a 1981 law barring families from new food stamps when a member is on strike. The decision, written by Justice Byron White, says the measure is a neutral Congressional response, while dissenters led by Justice Marshall call it a penalty on strikers. Justices Brennan and Blackmun dissented. Kennedy did not participate.
