The fate of full-time, paid union organizers as employees: another nail in the union coffin?
Article Abstract:
Full-time, paid union organizers were afforded protection under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) as employees until a 1989 ruling by the Fourth Circuit Court. In H.B. Zachry Co v NLRB the court overruled the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) longstanding interpretation of the Act. Other courts have since concurred with NLRB practice making the issue ripe for Supreme Court review. However, the democratic victory in the 1992 elections entails that current NLRB vacancies will probably be filled by pro-union appointees, and the board will likely stand by its existing policy.

The fate of full-time, paid union organizers as employees: what next from the Supreme Court?
Article Abstract:
National Labor Relations Board member Raudabaugh's rationale for parts of the Board's decision in Sunland Construction opens the way for employers to reject paid union organizers as employees, but the US Supreme Court may soon resolve the issue. By Raudabaugh's reasoning, some non-discriminatory policies may allow an employer to reject an applicant or fire a worker who works as a union organizer. The Court has agreed to hear Town & Country Electric v NLRB, clearing up issues on which the circuit courts are divided.
