Elaine Bernard on Labor Law

[Michael Yates]

In US labor law, there is another awful "default position." (Bernard
points out that, in terms of organizing, the legal default position is
that workers should be without unions). When a union has managed to win
recognition and has negotiated a collective bargaining agreement and has
even managed to win an agreement without a "no strike" clause (a rare
thing in itself these days), the courts will hold that the agreement has
a defacto no strike clause if the agreement has a binding arbitration
clause for grievances.
