Abstract

Under present law the president can prohibit a job action for up to eighty day if he feels it will imperil the national health or safety. A case is presented for legislation providing for government-imposed compulsory arbitration, to handle job actions not settled within the eighty-day period. Based on the growth in size of both employer and employee organizations and the increasing interdependence within the economy, the author concludes that such legislation is needed immediately.
