Court nixes union power in wage fines ruling
The Supreme Court, in a 6-1 decision, ruled unions cannot fine workers who quit during a strike and later return to work. Justice Douglas said a member who resigns from a union forfeits its power over him. Blackmun dissented in a case involving 31 ex-members who were fined after returning to work at International Paper Box Machine Co. in New Hampshire. The National Labor Relations Board had found the fines illegal under Taft Hartley.
