General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Leedom v. Kyne, 358 U.S. 184 (1958)
Leedom v. Kyne No. 14 Argued October 23, 1958 Decided December 15, 1958 358 U.S. 184
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Section 9 (b)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act provides that, in determining the unit appropriate for collective bargaining purposes,
the Board shall not (1) decide that any unit is appropriate for such purposes if such unit includes both professional employees and employees who are not professional employees unless a majority of such professional employees vote for inclusion in such unit.
After refusing to take a vote among the professional employees of a labor organization to determine whether a majority of them would "vote for inclusion in such unit," the Board included both professional and nonprofessional employees in the bargaining unit that it found appropriate.
Held: a Federal District Court had jurisdiction of an original suit to set aside the Board’s determination because it was made in excess of the Board’s powers. Pp. 184-191 .
101 U.S.App.D.C. 398, 249 F.2d 490, affirmed.
