Massachusetts Court Rules on Labor Strikes and Unions
A Massachusetts Supreme Court decision upholds the right of workers to organize unions and strike as a common law freedom, but restricts unions from implicating innocent third parties in labor disputes. The ruling arose from a dispute between stone cutters and pointers hired by a Boston contractor, with pointers refusing to join the union. The court says coercive strikes against non-disputing workers are unlawful.
