Supreme Court Rules Wagner Act Permits Employers Views
The Supreme Court in a 7 to 0 decision said the Wagner Act does not bar an employer from expressing views on labor issues. The ruling directs Virginia Electric and Power to reexamine its case in light of the opinion, noting that certain company actions may still amount to coercion when combined with other circumstances. The decision emphasizes board clarification rather than court restraint, and maintains employers' freedom to speak on policy while protecting employees from coercive conduct.
