Wilcox Labor Law Invalidated by Alabama Attorney General
Alabama Attorney General Carmichael ruled Wilcox county’s 1949 little Taft-Hartley law invalid as it improperly assigns executive and administrative powers to the circuit court and bypasses judicial boundaries. The advisory opinion notes the act breaches constitutional separation of powers and would force the state supreme court to function as a prosecutor. Wilcox, a farming county southeast of Montgomery, sought the law to lure new industry despite little current organized labor.
