On November 13, 2013, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Unite Here Local 355 v. Mulhall. The question in the case is whether an employer and union are prohibited by the Labor-Management Relations Act from entering into a “neutrality agreement” under which the employer exercises its freedom of speech by promising to remain neutral to union organizing, its property rights by granting union representatives limited access to the employer’s property and employees, and its freedom of contract by obtaining the union’s promise to forego its rights to picket, boycott, or otherwise put pressure on the employer’s business.

To discuss the case, we have Mr. Luke Wake, Staff Attorney, NFIB Small Business Legal Center.
