On Second Thought, Supreme Court Won’t Take Up Union Case

The Supreme Court decided it erred when it agreed to hear a case involving so-called neutrality agreements between unions and management, and it has dismissed the case. Under neutrality agreements, management agrees to accommodate a union’s organizing efforts in exchange for something: for example, a promise not to strike or picket or, in the case at hand, union support for a referendum vote that would allow slot machines in the casino where the union wanted to organize.
