...court's hottest case posed a particularly important question: Can an employer close a plant entirely to avoid unionization? The answer is vital to multiplant textile manufacturers who have moved South in search of low-wage and largely nonunion labor. It is equally vital to the Textile Workers Union of America, still trying to organize Southern mill hands...

Instead, all five stores locked out their clerks and stayed in business with temporary nonunion help. After seven weeks, the union gave up and signed a new contract...

Strikes during the first six months of 1964 were at one of the lowest levels since World...

The dissenters said that this violated the right-to-work law that Florida enacted in 1944.
