Supreme Court rules on union retirement issue
Washington case held employers are not required to bargain over changes in retirement benefits for retired workers. Justices Willand and Brennan Jr. wrote for the majority in a Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. case with AFL-CIO involvement. Justice Douglas dissented. The ruling upheld the NLRB finding of unfair labor practices but the 5th Circuit refused to enforce it. The decision argued retirement benefits fall outside the statute’s bargaining obligation. The AFL-CIO argued retirement bargaining is vital for labor, noting millions covered by retirement contracts.
