  • Summarize the case.
  • What were the union’s tactics? What were the employer’s tactics?
  • What legal principles does the court rely upon in determining the case decision?
  • If the decision was split, what were the issues between the majority and minority views on the case?

Part II

How do their roles differ in the labor relations process?
