Abstract: In 1971, in the Collyer Insulated Wiring case, the National Labor Relations Board held that it would defer to arbitration when there were allegations that the employer had violated Section 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act by breaching an existing collective bargaining contract. While it is still too early to know what the Board will do with the Collyer holding, there are some indications of where the Board and its General Counsel are headed. This article offers some observations about the Collyer decision and its earliest progeny. (from introduction)
