National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. (1936)

United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 83 F.2d 998

Contributed by 🤖LSDBot🤖

Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation faced potential labor enforcement from the NLRB, igniting a contentious debate on jurisdiction and federal involvement in state-governed manufacturing industries.

ICRA

Issue

The legal issue in summary is about determining whether the constitution allows the NLRB, a federal entity, to intervene in manufacturing sector labor disputes when there are implications for interstate commerce.

Conclusion

The legal conclusion of the court is that the federal government, as represented by the NLRB in this case, lacks jurisdiction in regulating relations between employers and employees within the manufacturing industry. The court held that the impact of a strike on interstate commerce didn't warrant federal intervention, emphasising the necessity of maintaining the constitutional balance between federal and state powers.

Brief Facts & Holding

Facts

  • The facts are that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) wanted to reinstate employees at a Pennsylvania steel plant owned by Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation, but the court decided that the NLRB had no jurisdiction.
  • This was because the Constitution does not give the federal government power to control relations between employers and employees in the manufacturing industry.
  • Furthermore, production and commerce activities were differentiated, with the court pointing out that activities like mining coal and setting wages are part of production, which is viewed as a local activity.
  • In contrast, commerce, which involves sales and exports, can be federally regulated.
  • The court also established that potential impact on interstate commerce triggered by a strike doesn't warrant federal intervention in employer-employee relationships.

Holding

  • Hey! This is the holding for Pennoyer v. Neff. It probably isn't the holding for the brief you're looking at. Join LSD+ for full access.
  • A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached to satisfy an unrelated claim, despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
  • A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached as the basis for the suit (e.g., to quiet title), despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
  • An individual is sued who is a resident of the state, or who has been served with process while physically located within the state.

  • jurisdiction - the action was on the basis of a suit to receive payment owed, and did not relate directly to a property within the state.
  • jurisdiction, as the Oregon property was not attached to the initial suit, but rather was added in after the suit happened - note that Neff did not even purchase the property until after the suit had concluded.
  • Accordingly, the Oregon court did not have jurisdiction over the initial suit between Neff and his lawyer.
  • Enforcement of a judgment without jurisdiction denies due process!
  • Additionally, although judgments rendered by other states are entitled to full faith and credit, if that state did not have jurisdiction to render the judgment, it loses such entitlement.
