Federalism and Breach of the Labor Agreement

Abstract

When the Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari in Association of Westinghouse Salaried Employees v. Westinghouse Elec. Corp., it brought before it for the first time a suit initiated under Section 301 of the Taft-Hartley Act. In March the Court rendered judgment in the case. But the niceties of appellate review and the lack of agreement among the Justices prevented the Court from resolving the troublesome problems of federalism raised by the statute.
