Strana 79 - A person may be the servant of two masters, not joint employers, at one time as to one act, provided that the service to one does not involve abandonment of the service to the other.
Strana 61 - ... firms, including 8,000 of America's leading general contracting firms. They are engaged in the construction of the nation's commercial buildings, shopping centers, factories, warehouses, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, water works facilities, waste treatment facilities, dams, water conservation projects, defense facilities, multi-family housing projects and site preparation/utilities installation for housing development.
Strana 80 - [i]he statute is founded on the belief that an employee may legitimately give allegiance to both a union and an employer. To the extent that may appear to give rise to a conflict, it is a conflict that was resolved by Congress long since in favor of the right of employees to organize.

Strana 84 - ... Nothing in the law precludes an employer from discharging an employee who is insubordinate or incompetent.

Eleven members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers showed up for the interviews. Two were paid union organizers; the other nine were unemployed members. After learning that these eleven applicants were union members, the...
Strana 82 - The employer responded to the salting campaign by "referring to [the union] as organized crime trying to put him out of business." Id. The owner told the superintendent "to eliminate wherever possible any personnel that were affiliated with the union;" told the employees that "as long as he owned the Company it would never be union;" and instituted a "no-moonlighting" policy for the specific purpose of eliminating those participating in the salting program.
Strana 80 - Justice Breyer, speaking for the unanimous Court, asked and answered the question before the Court as follows: Can a worker be a company's "employee," within the terms of the National Labor Relations Act ... if, at the same time, a union pays that worker to help the union organize the company?
