Are minority unions the next major thing?
Section 7 of the NLRA provides: “ Employees shall have the right . . . to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing.” Professor Morris asserts that this language can be traced to pre NLRA sources, including the Norris-LaGuardia Act of 1932, and to the Depression-era National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) of 1933,. According to Professor Morris, minority unions were commonplace during this era and, he argues, the incorporation of this language into the 1935 NLRA reveals that Congress never intended to abolish the practice.
