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.
Guss v. Utah Labor Relations Bd., 353 U.S. 1 (1957)
Guss v. Utah Labor Relations Board No. 280 Argued January 16, 1957 Decided March 25, 1957 353 U.S. 1
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF UTAH
Syllabus
By vesting in the National Labor Relations Board jurisdiction over labor relations matters affecting interstate commerce, Congress has completely displaced state power to deal with such matters where the Board has declined to exercise its jurisdiction, but has not ceded jurisdiction to a state agency pursuant to the proviso to § 10(a) of the National Labor Relations Act. Pp. 2-12.
(a) By the National Labor Relations Act, Congress meant to reach to the full extent of its power under the Commerce Clause. P. 3.
(b) An agreement ceding jurisdiction to a state agency under § 10(a) of the National Labor Relations Act is the exclusive means whereby States may be enabled to act concerning matters which Congress has entrusted to the National Labor Relations Board. Pp. 6-10.
(c) Not only was there a general intent on the part of Congress to preempt the field of labor practices affecting interstate commerce, but also the proviso to § 10(a) carries an inescapable implication of exclusiveness. P. 10.
(d) Since the power of Congress in the area of commerce among the States is plenary, its judgment in favor of uniformity must be respected, whatever policy objections there may be to the creation of a no-man’s land in which labor disputes will not be regulated by any federal or state agency or court. Pp. 10-12.
5 Utah 2d 68, 296 P.2d 733, reversed.
