LABOR LAW - RIGHTS AND DUTIES UNDER THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT- EFFECT OF NORRIS-LAGUARDIA ACT

Defendants, members of a C.I.O. organization, petitioned for an election in plaintiff corporation's factory in order to determine the representatives of the employees for the purposes of collective bargaining. An employees' association, a union the members of which were restricted to employees of the corporation, received a majority of votes and was certified by the National Labor Relations Board as bargaining representative. Nevertheless, the C.I.O. union called a strike, demanding sole bargaining privileges and a closed shop. Picketing, violence and intimidation are alleged, as a result of which plaintiff's factory has had to shut down.

Held, plaintiff is entitled to a restraining order. Oberman & Co. v. United Garment Workers of America, (D. C. Mo. 1937) 21 F. Supp. 20.
