Deep dives
Background and Context of the Case
The case of American Shipbuilding Company v. National Labor Relations Board involved a significant labor dispute from 1965, centered on the legality of management practices aimed at undermining union strikes. The union contended that management's decision to lock out workers during negotiations was an unlawful tactic intended to pressure the union during contract talks. This situation arose from a series of collective bargaining impasses between the American Shipbuilding Company and its unions, culminating in a lockout when negotiations failed. The Supreme Court's decision in this case would herald a shift in labor law, beginning a trend towards diminishing protections for unions under the National Labor Relations Act.
