AFL Chief Calls Labor Board Distortion of Wagner Act
President William Green of the AFL urged replacing the three member National Labor Relations Board with a five member federal labor board. He testified before the Senate labor committee backing AFL amendments to broaden appeals to courts, limit board power over contracts, and allow employer elections to choose unions. Green said the board favors some unions over others and has distorted the act, with CIO President John L. Lewis criticizing the AFL amendments as anti labor.
