Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the state arbitration statute is constitutional and not preempted by federal labor law, but that the Board exceeded its authority by imposing a modified union shop and by failing to apply the statutory standards and make adequate factual findings. The Court reversed the Appellate Division's affirmation of the Board's order, remanded for proper findings, and dismissed the separate appeal concerning the motion to take testimony as moot.
