Court Defines NLRB's Powers
The Supreme Court ruled that the National Labor Relations Board has oversight over two companies operating in one state but selling products to interstate concerns. The decision on Consolidated Edison New York broadens board authority under the National Labor Relations Act, though it found the board exceeded authority in canceling collective bargaining contracts with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Justices Reed and Black dissented and Butler and McReynolds urged setting aside the entire order. Reed and Black disagreed the board lacked authority to block contract effects.
