Briefs were filed as amici curiae by Nathan L. Miller, Roger M. Blough, Borden Burr and Paul R. Conaghan for the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. et al.; Harry P. Jeffrey for the Foremen's League for Education and Association et al.; and Nicholas Kelley for the Chrysler Corporation, urging reversal.

MR. JUSTICE JACKSON delivered the opinion of the Court.

The question presented by this case is whether foremen are entitled as a class to the rights of self-organization, collective bargaining, and other concerted activities as assured to employees generally by the National Labor Relations Act. The case grows out of conditions in the automotive industry, and so far as they are important to the legal issues here the facts are simple.
