Sec. 168. Validation of certificates and other Board actions
No petition entertained, no investigation made, no election held,
and no certification issued by the National Labor Relations Board, under
any of the provisions of section 159 of this title, shall be invalid by
reason of the failure of the Congress of Industrial Organizations to
have complied with the requirements of section 159(f), (g), or (h) of
this title prior to December 22, 1949, or by reason of the failure of
the American Federation of Labor to have complied with the provisions of
section 159(f), (g), or (h) of this title prior to November 7, 1947:
Provided, That no liability shall be imposed under any provision of this
chapter upon any person for failure to honor any election or certificate
referred to above, prior to October 22, 1951: Provided, however, That
this proviso shall not have the effect of setting aside or in any way
affecting judgments or decrees heretofore entered under section 160(e)
or (f) of this title and which have become final.
(July 5, 1935, ch. 372, Sec. 18, as added Oct. 22, 1951, ch. 534,
