Labor History
This speech, written by Steve Kocherzat and Charles McCollester, commemorates the NLRB v Jones & Laughlin Supreme Court Ruling historical marker. The landmark ruling on April 12, 1937 upheld the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Act in the case of National Labor Relations Board, NLRB, v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. The company had fired unionized workers at its Aliquippa plant, which resulted in the court ordering their reinstatement.
