Louis grew so outraged at the phony
"employes' association" in their firm
that they unanimously dissolved it,
joined an AFL-CIO union and struck
last November for better wages.
NLRB officials then issued a COM
plant against the union, claiming
the employees were represented by
the defunct "association"-and at the
same time refused to hold a repre-
sentation election.
2-The NLRB has deliberately cut
off the employees of thousands of
"small" firms from the protection of
the law, Morse noted, even though
the same board admits Congress
wrote the law to cover these en-
ployes as we'll as others. This is
clear "usurpation of Congress- prov
ince," Morse declared.
The results, he pointed out, is that
millions of workers are now in "no
mans land" with no legal support
for collective bargaining whatever,
since, their employers are subject
neither to the NLRB nor to state
labor laws. But when a "small" en-
ployer complains, Morse showed, the
NLRB juggles things around to bring
him into it's jurisdiction.
APPEAL BARRED
The effect on individual workers,
Morse indicated, is shown by this
case: A laundry worker was sub
poenaed by the pre- Eisenhower
NLRB. His boss grew so angry at
the mans testimony that he fired |
him. The worker appealed against |

DOUBLE STANDARD

The Oregon senator cited many
cases in which employers fighting
union organization threatened their
workers with the drastic reprisal
of closing the plant and moving it
away if the union should win repre-
sentation. But when the unions took
these unfair practices to the
NLRB, the Eisenhower majority
steadily turned them down and said
the employer was just using his
free speech"
What made his exhaustive indict-
ment all the more significant is the
fact that Morse is one of the nations

ties, having served as arbitrator in
many major industrial disputes.

this obviously illegal reprlsal. The
new NLRB refused to hear the APP
peal because it now has curtaiied it
"juris dictional policy" and isn't in
terested in the laundry any more.
3-In case after case, Morse
showed, the new NLRB has tried to
cut down the right to picket and to
strike, as guaranteed even by Taft
Hartley. The board has done this,
he pointed out, by strained interpre-
tations of the law, often contrary
to the Supreme Courts pronounce
ments." To the same end, he said,
the board has been substituting a
conclusive presumption of union guilt
for the necessity of proving by evil
dence that the unions object is an
outlawed one."

OF RIGHTS

For example, the NLRB upheld an
employer in firing peaceful pickets
merely because they had not publicly
denounced acts of violence against
plant property by unidentified third
parties. THAT is an astonishing doc
trine," Morse commented. "The re-
suit is to deny to union which COM
piled with the law it's rights under
the law"
4-Taft-Hartley extends the right
of free speech to both employer and
union, but outlaws any threats Of
However, said Morse, "the
NLRB has achieved the
perhaps unique distinction of stretch
ing the right of free speech to include
plain coercion by the employer and,
at the same time, invoking it to justi-
