General Shoe Corp.
National Labor Relations Board
77 N.L.R.B. 124 (1948)
- Written by Tammy Boggs, JD
Facts
An election was scheduled for the employees of General Shoe Corp. (defendant) to decide whether to select a specified union (plaintiff) as the employees’ collective-bargaining representative. During the union’s campaign, General Shoe’s foremen had visited employees’ homes and propagandized against the union. A day before the election, General Shoe’s president called about 25 groups of 20 to 25 employees into his office and gave the same antiunion speech to each group. After the election, the union argued that General Shoe had engaged in unfair labor practices and that the representation election should be set aside. The National Labor Relations Board (the board) had to decide whether the election could be set aside even if General Shoe’s conduct did not amount to an unfair labor practice.
