from Part IV - Barriers to Forming a Collective Bargaining Relationship
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 November 2019
Labor was at its pinnacle when secondary activities (e.g., picketing, boycotting, leafletting) were lawful. In 1947 and again in 1957 and 1959, Congress amended the National Labor Relations Act, severely curtailing secondary activities, removing this effective organizing tool from labor. This Chapter explores methods unions can use, both within and outside the existing legal framework, to strengthen the collective-bargaining relationship. This chapter is divided into three sections. It starts in Section A with a brief description of the California grape workers’ strike to establish the effectiveness of secondary activity. Section B examines the historical development of secondary activity law. Section C asks how workers can leverage the legal space unoccupied by unlawful secondary conduct. Given that secondary activity is likely to remain highly regulated, it addresses what unions can do both within and outside the confines of legal boundaries to reach a larger audience to publicize their legitimate complaints.
