Labor Law - Labor-Management Relations Act- Extent Of Discretion Exercised By District Courts In Issuing Temporary Injunctions Against Alleged Unfair Labor Practice, John A. Beach S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The Labor-Management Relations Act gives federal district courts jurisdiction to grant injunctions in two different situations, notwithstanding the general policy against granting in junctions in labor disputes not involving fraud or violence set by the Norris-LaGuardia Act. The grant of limited injunctive jurisdiction given by section 208 in one situation, national emergencies, will not be discussed. This comment will deal only with the other, the grant of jurisdiction in sections 10(j) and (l) to enjoin alleged unfair labor practices at the request of the National Labor Relations Board's regional officer, pending a disposition of the charges by the …

On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, …

Michigan Law Review

One hastens to add that this attribute of land cases appears to have gone largely unnoticed, but it exists none the less.
