N.L.R.B. Campaign Propaganda: A Call For Congressional Reform, Susan Gardner

Administrators of state labor relations acts and state courts, like the California court, must determine what position to take with respect to their jurisdiction. Employers and unions must make a like determination, and must also come to some conclusion as to the applicability of state law as reflected in other statutes and in judicial decisions.
