Beasley v. Food Fair of North Carolina, Inc.

Taft-Hartley amendments 1 of the National Labor Relations Act excluded supervisors from the protections of the Act and thus freed employers to discharge supervisors without violating the Act's restraints against discharges on account of labor union membership.
