Legislation and Regulation Keyed to Manning, 5th Ed.
National Labor Relations Board v. Hearst
Citation:
322 U.S. 111 (1944)Facts
The case involved newsboys who sold four Los Angeles daily newspapers (the Times, Examiner, Herald and Express, and News) on the streets of Los Angeles. Though called “boys,” they were generally mature men who depended on their sales for livelihood and often supported families. They worked at fixed “spots” or corners on a regular basis, often for years, forming a stable workforce. The publishers divided Los Angeles into geographic districts, each supervised by a district manager who supplied papers to newsboys, collected receipts, and exercised significant control over their working conditions. The publishers fixed both the selling price of papers and the price newsboys paid for them, effectively determining their compensation. District managers assigned selling spots, determined hours, monitored performance, and enforced standards of conduct. The publishers provided sales equipment and advertising materials. The NLRB found that these newsboys were an integral part of the publishers’ distribution system and circulation organization.
