NLRB v. Erie Resistor Corp.

NLRB v Erie Resistor Corp 373 US 221 (1963) is a US labor law case, concerning the right to organize.

Employees who crossed a picket line to work were given 20 years of extra seniority by Erie Resistor Corp.

The striking employees argued that this policy was discriminatory and violated their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) agreed with the striking employees and found that Erie Resistor had violated Section 8(a)(3) of the NLRA.

The Supreme Court went on to state that the policy had a destructive impact on the strike and union activity, making it a clear violation of the NLRA.
