1. Recall that the Mackay doctrine grants employers the right to hire replacement workers during an economic strike. CCSI indicated that it would replace striking employees by inverse seniority. Does this plan violate Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA or is it allowable under this Mackay doctrine?

2. Assuming that the replacement plan violated the NLRA and was therefore an unfair labor practice, was the strike then an unfair labor practice strike?

3. Were the strikers entitled to be reinstated as of July 25? Does it matter whether or not the strike was an unfair labor practice strike?
