Abstract

In a recent decision, the NLRB has created a framework for legal analysis of unlawful employer domination allegations which threatens many employee participation or empowerment programs in nonunion places of employment. A marked incompatibility in the application of the 58 year old National Labor Relations Act and current accepted management practices has been noted. The most likely solution to this apparent dilemma in labor-management relations appears to be statutory reform of the labor code.
