Without the NLRB, unions will be hard-pressed to maintain current wage levels and to keep shops from "running away" to the non-union South. The drive to organize badly paid agricultural, hospital, and Southern workers will be smothered, for unskilled replaceable workers are easily intimidated by the mildest "unfair practice...
