James to Rule on Removal of Sit-Down Strike
Harrisburg May 31 Industrial Pennsylvania’s new ethics code known as the Little Wagner Act sits on Gov. Arthur H. James desk awaiting signature. The 1989 act rewrites labor relations rules, outlaws sit-down strikes, and empowers the Labor and Industry Secretary to veto board actions. It requires investigations of disputes on petitions by employers and labor, allows craft unions to choose agents, and makes coercion in union membership and sit-down actions an unfair practice.
