The NLRB ruled unanimously that the Taft-Hartley act does not ban legal picketing of a struck site if it only indirectly pressures others. The decision, dismissing charges by Pure Oil against Local 346 of CIO Oil Workers International, preserves primary strikes and limits secondary boycott concerns to premises of the struck plant.
