Supreme Court Rules Labor Union Membership No Shield in Labor Laws
The Supreme Court declared Section 10 of the 1898 arbitration act unconstitutional, upholding an employer's right to dismiss or discriminate against workers for union membership absent a contract with the union. Justice Harlan delivered the decision in Adair vs United States, noting contracts cannot be overridden to pursue interstate commerce, while Justices McKenna Holmes dissented or concurred on broader points about labor rights and contracts. The ruling follows broader scrutiny of labor law provisions and could prompt new legislation to align with constitutional limits.
