NLRB backs foremen in Wagner act case
The National Labor Relations Board ruled that discharging or discriminating against supervisory foremen for activity in an independent foremen's union constitutes unfair labor practices under the Wagner act. It also reaffirmed non certification of supervisory units for collective bargaining, extending limited Wagner act protections to foremen while not enabling rank and file unions to compel bargaining. The Foremen's Association of America case spurred strikes at Detroit war plants.
