Definitions from Case Law
From 365 U.S. 667 - Local 357, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen & Helpers v. National Labor Relations Board · 1961Most cited · 743 citing opinions
The hiring hall came into being 'to eliminate wasteful, time-consuming, and repetitive scouting for jobs by individual workmen and haphazard uneconomical searches by employers.' Congress has not outlawed the hiring hall, though it has outlawed the closed shop; a hiring-hall arrangement is not illegal per se, and the Board is confined to determining whether discrimination has in fact been practiced.
