Abstract
THE G-- D --- Labor Board." That expletive, the title of ." a 1938 Fortune article,' has become an unceasing chant of protest over the years. Today, as in 1938, the National Labor Relations Board finds itself at the center of a whirlpool of criticism. This is not at all surprising in light of the Board's mandate to strike a balance between the conflicting motifs of the national labor policy. My personal experience has been that the Board welcomes constructive criticism. The familiar refrain of persecution and ordeal at the hands of the Board that runs through the perennial anti-Board resolu- tions enacted at union and trade association conventions can be discounted for what they are-ritualistic attempts at cathartic relief from the frustration of failing to achieve self-interest objectives. Unfortunately, there are those who use the Board as a whipping boy when their actual purpose is to attack ruthlessly the institution of collective bargaining. These Bourbons, such as Professor Sylvester J. Petro, the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers and the National Chamber of Commerce, blatantly reject the basic tenets of the national labor policy.
