| Abstract: | Since Congress amended the National Labor Relations Act in 1947, strikes and lockouts have been unlawful without sufficient notice to the other party and the designed mediation agencies. A number of cases are described and for each the National Labor Relations Board's interpretation is reported. Under the Board's current reasoning, if the employer initiates negotiations and doesn't notify the mediation agencies, the union may strike without notice. Conversely, if the union initiates negotiations with the employer, but doesn't notify the mediation agencies, it may not strike or threaten to strike. If a strike occurs without formal initiation of negotiations by either party, the Board's interpretation can't be predicted with certainty. |
