- Title
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN THE PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES: THE ECONOMIC ISSUES.
- Authors
Crutchfield, James A.
- Abstract
Recent decisions of regulatory agencies and courts have tended to deny, or to restrict severely, the right of collective bargaining in the Pacific Coast fishing industry, on the grounds that a proper employer-employee relationship, in Taft-Hartley terms, does not exist in the industry and that collective bargaining arrangements therein constitute illegal price fixing. The ultimate test of economic practices, however, is their effect on the general welfare. In this article, the consequences to the economic welfare of fishermen, processors, and consumers of the denial of bargaining rights are evaluated. The author concludes that interests of all groups might best be preserved by re-establishment of collective bargaining.
