WASHINGTON - (FP) -
The Wagner act cannot be used
to protect workers in an attempt
to force their employer to violate
the Wagner act, the NLRB un
derlined this week.
The principle, established in
1914 in the American News Co.
case, was reaffirmed- when the
NLRB reversed previous ruling
that United Auto Workers (CIO)
members who struck at Thomp-
son Products Inc. when the JAW
lost an election to, an independent
union were entitled to reinstate-
ment.
'The complainants (union
members) were not entitled to, the
protection of the act because
they engaged in a strike for the
purpose of compelling the com
pany to violate the NLRB's re
cent ceftificatien of the indepen
dent labor organization" the
NLRB said.
