Massachusetts Supreme Court bans union based job exclusion
The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled a private employer may not hire only union men. The decision protects nonmembers from being discharged to satisfy union contracts, citing a case where a nonunion worker was denied work at Hazen B. Goodrich Co. The ruling warns such contracts would create a labor union monopoly and bar nonmembers from employment.
