Supreme Court Favors Employer Property Rights Over Union Access To Employees

The Supreme Court recently decided in favor of employers on a property dispute with union agents seeking access to workers for purposes of union organizing. In Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, the Court invalidated a California statute that had granted union organizers the right to enter private property to meet with workers on-site. The Court focused on the balance between a property owner’s right to exclude people from its property and a union’s right to organize workers.
