NLRB Again Accuses
Printers Union Of
Closed Shop Violation
BY the Asseeiofed Press

The National Labor Relations
Board yesterday-for the fourth
time-ruled the printers union
guilty of violating the Taft-Hart-
ley Act by insisting on a closed
shop, this time in commercial
print shops of six cities.
Seven locals were ruled in vio-
lation along with the parent AFL
Int national Typographical
Union. The cities are Chicago, De-
troit, Pittsburgh, Newark, st. Louis
and, Philadelphia.
Previously the union lost in test
cases of its bargaining strategy
dealing with the newspaper busi-
ness generally, with Chicago news
papers. and with job printing
shops in Baltimore.
Right now the NLRB, which has
no power to back up it's decisions,
is in Federal court trying to force
the union to show compliance in
the newspaper case. All the board
can do is issue orders.
Contest Moves to Courts.
The cases deal with ITU bar
gaining tactics worked out after
enactment in 1947 of the Taft
Hartley Act with its ban on the
closed shop contracts which for
bid hiring anybody but union
members.
The ITU, with nearly a century
of closed shop contracts behind it,
refused to surrender those pro-
tections without a struggle. Now
that the board has ruled against
the union in the last of the series
of cases. the contest moves into
the courts.
The complaint in yesterdays
case was brought by the Union
Employers Section OF the Printing
Industry of America, Inc.
It. involved Chicago Typograp-
hical Union No. 16, Detroit Typo
graphical Union No. 18. Detroit
Mailers' Union No. 40. Pittsburgh
Typographical Union No. 7, New
ark Typographical Union No. 103,
st. Louis Typographical Union No.
8, and Philadelphia Typographical
Union No. 2.
These seven local unions were
ordered to bargain collectively on
request of the employer and to put
any understanding reached into a
signed agreement of reasonable
duration
Both the internationl union and
it's locals were directed not to
threaten strike to force discrim-
ination against workers because
they are not ITU members.
ITU Policy Criticized.
The board was sharply critical
of ITU policy, saying it was for
mulated to get around the Taft
Hartley ban on discrimination
against employees on the basis OF
union membership.
1he IIU IN l941 set up no
contract strategy under which
conditions of employment were
posted in the places of employ
ment. Later it permitted signing
of short term contracts which |
could be dropped In go days. The
board said both plans violated
the intent of Congress.
The board did not rule on a
contract OF April II. 1948, between
the Detroit union and the Graphic
Arts Association of Michigan, Inc,
one of the employer groups. This
included a competency" hiring
system which an NLBR trial ex-
aminer had held Illegal. The
board said it was not necessary
to rule on the contract because it
would not affect the order in the
case.
