Summary
In developing the substantive law under the NLRA the Court addressed the scope of the NLRB’s powers -- to order specific remedies, to disqualify “company unions, and to define what counted as an appropriate bargaining unit. The Court’s decisions were influced by the highly politicized environment around and within the NLRB, and especially by its obvious bias in favor of the more liberal Congress of Industrial Unions and against the more conservative American Federation of Labor.
