But captive audience meetings, a majority of the board felt, were different. A captive audience meeting occurs when an employer requires employees to meet on company time and listen to anti-union speech. After NLRB v. Virginia Electric & Power Co., the NLRB continued to issue rulings that held that captive audience meetings were a per se violation of the NLRA. [64] [65] :84 Lardner, Jr., George.

The former NFU deputy president, from St Osyth, was appointed as combinable crops and sugar beet sector chairman for the farm assurance marque in July 2020. After returning to the United States, Farmer took up residence in Washington, D.C., in 1937, [3] and in 1938 joined the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) as an attorney. [6] He later was appointed a regional attorney in both Los Angeles and Minneapolis, where he oversaw other NLRB staff attorneys.

Kammholz held views very similar to Farmer's. Kammholz said the NLRA's purpose was to protect individual worker's rights, not the rights or collectives like labor unions. Like Farmer, he emphasized that the role of the NLRB was to prevent "big labor" from intimidating individuals. Like Farmer, he also believed the NLRB staff had little experience in the workplace and was prejudiced against employers. [7] :127 Later life [ edit ] Resignation from the NLRB [ edit ] The NLRB nonetheless continued to extend its less-than-a-strike ruling to other union activities. In Valley City Furniture Co., [85] the employer had unilaterally extended the work day by an hour, and union members had refused to work the extra hour. The employer terminated the workers. Members Beeson and Rodgers held that the union had engaged in activity that was short of a strike, and thus the activity was not protected by the act. [86] Similarly, in Honolulu Rapid Transit Co., [87] the employer implemented a seven-day work week. Again, the workers refused to work the extra time, and were terminated the workers. Again, Beeson and Rodgers upheld the terminations. In these two cases, however, Farmer agreed with the reasoning but not the outcome. In a concurrence in Valley City Furniture, Farmer said it was "unduly harsh and legalistic" to allow an employer to "engage in every and all forms of retaliatory or unlawfully motivated discrimination." Farmer argued in Honolulu Rapid Transit Co. that an employer's retaliatory actions should be limited to those activities which interfered the least with employees' concerted activities. [7] :115–116 But his reasoning was not adopted by the other members of the majority. The Taft-Hartley Act required all officers and trustees of labor unions seeking the protect of the National Labor Relations Act to affirm that they were not members of the Communist Party USA. The anti-communist oath provision generated extensive controversy when it became effective on June 23, 1947. The Herzog board struggled to implement the anti-communist oath provisions, but it was the Farmer board which capped these efforts. Farmer publicly supported the Taft-Hartley Act. Although he felt it was not perfect, if properly implemented it would have a positive effect on labor relations. [128] Moody, John P. "Coal Industry Advisors Meet As Talks Continue."
