Futile NLRB Election Tactics at Lithographers Plant
The Amalgamated Lithographers CIO sought an election at Democrat Printing & Lithographing Co. of Little Rock in 1948. An August vote had five of 17 for the union. The employer warned of expansion cuts and possible shutdowns. The NLRB voided that election on December 16 and ordered a new one later, leaving the union facing a delayed, uncertain fight and little chance of relief from punitive action. The piece notes broader questions about NLRB effectiveness and labor disputes.
