This article explores whether non-union employers can refuse to hire applicants whose known purpose is to unionize the workforce. The Supreme Court considered the reach of the National Labor Relations Act, and whether these applicants could be considered ‘employees’ under the Act, therefore entitled to protection from discrimination based on union activities. A unanimous Court ruled that paid union organizers can qualify as ‘employees.’ This article addresses the impact of this decision on hiring practices.
