Abstract
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals recently extended the limits within which an employer might lock out his employees. While the Supreme Court has allowed a lockout initiated after an impasse in negotiations between the employer and the union, the Sixth Circuit held that a lockout prior to an impasse for the purpose of supporting the employer\u27s bargaining position was not an unfair labor practice
