Union’s Rights
The general counsel of the National Labour Relations Board (Mr T. C. Kammholz) ruled today that a union may legally try to organise workers by buying them beer. A firm had complained that a union coerced workers in violation of the TaftHartley Labour Act, by paying for their beer during an organising campaign. The employer also complained that the union obtained signatures on union membership cards by threatening workers with loss Of jobs, offering reduced initiation fees, and exaggerating union were scales in other localities. Mr Kammholz dismissed the charges, saying: “Aside from the loss of job threats, which were not supported by the evidence, the remaining allegations, even if true, did not constitute violations under the act.”— Washington, January 22.
