REPLACING WORKERS WHO STRIKE

WASHINGTON; October 17. The United States National Labour Relations Board has ruled that workers who strike for higher wages cannot get their jobs back if an employer replaces them with “permanent employees.” The decision sets a precedent under the Taft-Hartley Act. It means in effect that an employer may replace strikers by hiring new employees and giving them permanent status on the payroll. The ruling involved the Pipe and Machinery Company of Cleveland and the International Association of Machinists, whose president, Mr Harvey Brown, accused the Labour Board, of giving the employer “full authority to break a strike by the simple expedient of hiring strikebreakers.”
