This post will be comprised of three parts: (1) what is a Joy Silk bargaining order; (2) how did NLRB v. Gissel Packing Co. water down the bargaining order remedy; and (3) why did this shift in the remedy matter for our national labor policy. I hope it will become clear why Joy Silk’s disappearance explains much of the chronic under-enforcement of federal labor law over the last half-century and why it is crucial that we resurrect this dormant doctrine.
