Federal Judge Ruling: State Legislatures Do Not Have Authority To Limit Collective Bargaining Rights
byRhodaA

A Chicago Federal Judge has ruled that state legislatures do not have the authority to limit collective bargaining rights granted by Federal law.

.....................

The suit was filed by the Teamsters Local 727 against The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority.

The Illinois judge in this case, Ronald Guzman, held that:

a) collective bargaining rights cannot be overturned by governmental edict;
b) the National Labor Relations Act preempts the Legislature from dictating terms for unions.
