Radio Workers of America, Local 1203, in particular.<br />

boards for posting of notices by the Juneau Mine Workers Association<br />
[found to be employer-dominated] or any other labor organization<br />
of its employees unless free and unconditional privileges as to<br />
the use thereof shall be equally extended to International Union of<br />
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, Local 203, and to any other labor<br />
organization of its employees." 40 In Matter of Waterman Steamship<br />

Board ordered the employer to cease and desist "from refusing to issue<br />
passes to authorized representatives of the National Maritime Union<br />
of America in equal numbers and under the same conditions as it<br />
grants passes to representatives of the International Seamen's Union<br />
of America or its successor."<br />
