NLRB Ruling Protects Union Presence in Seafarer Punishment
The National Labor Relations Board ruled a ship's crewmember may be restrained and fed bread and water but may still have a union representative at disciplinary hearings. The decision cites Capt. Carl H. Hope of the Mount Vernon Victory, who ordered C. C. Lial restrained and fined $440 in October 1973, but Hope acted improperly by denying a union rep at the hearing.
