Eye-opening ruling overturns Stevens union victory in Wallace
The NLRB ordered recognition of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union at J. P. Stevens plant in Wallace North Carolina after overturning a 540 to 404 vote. The board, citing Judge Harmatz 128 page opinion, also requires the company to bargain with the union and to pay the union’s organizing costs. The decision follows 17 years of Stevens resisting board orders and involves disputed authorization cards and literature in non working areas. The case invites broader questions about labor law impartiality and corporate rights in union drives.
