Question presented
Section 14(b) of the National Labor Relations Act states that nothing in the Act “shall be construed as authorizing the execution or application of agreements requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment in any State or Territory in which such execution or application is prohibited by State or Territorial law.” 29 U.S.C. § 164(b). Does a law enacted by a political subdivision of a state constitute “State … law” under section 14(b)?
