Appeals Court Upholds Taft-Hartley Oath Requirement
The U S Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld the non communist affidavit requirement of the Taft Hartley Act and held pension plans a fit subject for collective bargaining. Judges Kerner and Minton backed the oath rule with Major dissent. The ruling stems from Inland Steel Co and CIO United Steelworkers union petitions to enforce bargaining on retirement pension plans. The court also affirmed the NLRB order requiring bargaining with the CIO union on pension plans and tied it to non communist affidavit filing.
