Picketing ruling upholds store firings over alleged discrimination
The NLRB ruled that workers cannot legally picket against their employer for alleged discrimination if their union is pursuing the bias issue. The $2 decision affirmed the firing of two black Emporium department store workers in November 1968 after their downtown picket. The board said Local 1100 was acting on individual complaints of racial discrimination, warning the ruling could curb union authority by requiring unions to balance collective action with individual claims.
