Definitions from Case Law

From 346 U.S. 464 - National Labor Relations Board v. Local Union No. 1229, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers · 1953Most cited · 606 citing opinions

There is no more elemental cause for discharge of an employee than disloyalty to his employer. It is equally elemental that the Taft-Hartley Act seeks to strengthen, rather than to weaken, that cooperation, continuity of service and cordial contractual relation between employer and employee that is born of loyalty to their common enterprise.
