I would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals on purely statutory grounds. State action was present in all three cases. Thus, while statutory or common law may in some situations extend protection or provide redress against a private corporation or person who seeks to abridge the free expression of others, no such protection or redress is provided by the Constitution itself.

But the Administrative Law Judge's opinion also relied on this Court's constitutional decision in Logan Valley for a "realistic view of the facts." 407 Writing the 6-2 majority opinion, Justice Potter Stewart first stated unequivocally that the constitutional guarantee of free speech is a guarantee only against abridgment by government, federal or state, not private persons or corporations. Appellant attempts to evade this difficulty by shoehorning the current case into the exceedingly narrow exception that treats a private entity as a state actor when it is fulfilling a role that has been “traditionally exclusively” performed by government actors. 407 -516 (1939) (opinion of Roberts, J. In Logan Valley we recognized what the Court today refuses to recognize - that the owner of the modern shopping center complex, by dedicating his property to public use as a business district, to some extent displaces the "State" from control of historical First Amendment forums, and may acquire a virtual monopoly of places suitable for effective communication. ] The only alternative means of communication referred to in Babcock & Wilcox were "personal contacts on streets or at home, telephones, letters or advertised meetings to get in touch with the employees." To be sure, the Board's position has not been constant. 308 [ Four years later the Court reconsidered the Logan Valley doctrine in Lloyd Corporation, Ltd. v.

In Babcock & Wilcox we stated that an employer "must allow the union to approach his employees on his property"   U.S. 501 628. At the very least it is clear that neither the Board nor the Court of Appeals decided the case solely on First Amendment grounds. The Court's opinion today clarifies the confusion engendered by these cases by accepting Mr. Justice Black's reading of Marsh and by recognizing more sharply the distinction between the First Amendment and labor law issues that may arise in cases of this kind. 628 (1973), is there any reference to the First Amendment or any constitutionally based decision.

State, U.S. 308 I continue to believe that Logan Valley was rightly decided, and that both Lloyd and Hudgens were incorrect interpretations of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

As a result, First Amendment activity in privately owned malls could be limited by the owners of the property. In the litigation now before the Court, the Supreme Court of California construed the California Constitution to protect precisely those rights of communication and expression that were at stake in Logan Valley, Lloyd, and Hudgens. For the reasons stated in this opinion, the judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals with directions to remand to the National Labor Relations Board, so that the case may be there considered under the statutory criteria of the National Labor Relations Act alone. It is apparent that the instant case resembles Republic Aviation rather closely. Most of the stores, including Butler's, can be entered only from the interior mall. In the present posture of the case the most basic question is whether the respective rights and liabilities of the parties are to be decided under the criteria of the National Labor Relations Act alone, under a First Amendment standard, or under some combination of the two.

Thus even if, as the court suggests, the Court of Appeals' view of 7 was affected by the First Amendment, the Court still could have proceeded initially to decide the statutory question divorced of constitutional considerations. This result, although not the optimal one in my view, Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, [424 So far as we are here concerned that purpose is the right of employes to organize for mutual aid without employer interference. The Board, in turn, remanded to an Administrative Law Judge, who made findings of fact, recommendations, and conclusions to the effect that Hudgens had committed an unfair labor practice by excluding the pickets. My reading of Marsh admittedly carried me farther than the Court in Lloyd, but the Lloyd Court remained responsive in its own way to the concerns underlying Marsh. While acknowledging that the source of the pickets' rights was 7 of the Act, the Court of Appeals held that the competing constitutional and property right considerations discussed in Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, supra, "burde[n] the General Counsel with the duty to In Babcock & Wilcox itself, the intended audience was the employees of a particular employer, a limited identifiable group; and it was thought that such an audience could be reached effectively by means other than entrance onto the employer's property - for example, personal contact at the employees' living quarters, which were "in reasonable reach."   ] The editorial "we" above is directed primarily to myself as the author of the Court's opinion in Lloyd Corp. MR. JUSTICE WHITE, concurring in the result. In Central Hardware the Court was faced with solicitation by nonemployee union organizers on a parking lot of a retail store that was not part of a shopping center complex - activity clearly related to the use to which the private property had been put. But there is nothing in Marsh to suggest that its general approach was limited to the particular facts of that case. U.S. 49, 65 . Eastex, Inc. v. NLRB, 5 Cir., 1977, 550 F.2d 198, 202. (1956). Internet Explorer 11 is no longer supported.   It is a well-established principle that constitutional questions should not be decided unnecessarily. 351 But the shopping center owner may nevertheless control all places essential for the effective undertaking of some speech-related activities - namely, those related to the activities of the shopping center. Petitioner and respondent union contend that the respective rights and liabilities of the parties are to be decided under the criteria of the NLRA alone, whereas the NLRB contends that such rights and liabilities must be measured under a First Amendment standard. ...

Surely it is of no moment that the Board through its counsel now urges this Court to decide, as part of its statutory analysis, what result is compelled by the First Amendment.
