 | | The court held that Section 4 of the Norris-LaGuardia Act deprived the district court of jurisdiction to issue the injunction rejecting P&LE's contention that the Norris-LaGuardia Act must be accomodated to the ICA, and remanded the case for a determination whether P&LE was obligated to comply with the RLA bargaining procedures. |  | | The RLEA appealed, and the court of appeals summarily reversed the district court's decision. |  | | P&LE further contends, in No. 87-1589, that Section 4 of the Norris-LaGuardia Act, which provides inter alia that the courts shall have no jurisdiction to enjoin a labor strike (29 U.S.C. 104), does not deprive a federal district court of jurisdiction to enjoin a labor strike designed to block an ICC-approved rail transaction. |

| | The Norris LaGuardia Act |
 | | The Norris-LaGuardia Act was used when the union contended that the anti-injunction provision of section four of the Norris-LaGuardia Act prevented the injunction from being issued. |  | | Specifically, "The act forbids federal courts to issue injunctions against specifically described union activities and outlaws yellow-dog contracts" (Fossum,2002; 65). |  | |             The Norris- LaGuardia Act of 1932, is just a morsel of the Labor Relation Acts of the United States. |

 | | The Norris-LaGuardia Act was one of the first attempts to limit the power of federal courts in labor disputes. |  | | The Act so severely limited the use of injunctions (courts are permitted to enjoin union activity in rare instances to prevent violence) that today court-ordered injunctions are no longer a viable tool for management to use in labor disputes. |  | | Prior to the adoption of the Norris-LaGuardia Act in 1932 many courts looked upon concerted actions by groups of employees--such as strikes, boycotts, and picketing--as criminal conspiracies that were punishable by law. |

 | | Court of Appeals: Holding that the complaint did not state a cause of action for which relief could be granted, that the action was not preempted by the National Labor Relations Act, and that RCW 49.32 did not protect the laborers, the court affirms the judgment. |  | | For purposes of an action for wrongful discharge based on the discharge having contravened a clear mandate of public policy, the scope of the phrase "clear mandate of public policy" is an issue of law. |  | | [2] As a general rule, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) grants exclusive jurisdiction over labor disputes to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and preempts state and federal court jurisdiction to remedy conduct that is arguably protected or prohibited by the NLRA. |

 | | And this court has said that 'the legislative history of the act demonstrates that it was the purpose of the Congress further to extend the prohibitions of the Clayton Act respecting the exercise of jurisdiction by federal courts and to obviate the results of the judicial construction of that act.' [Footenote 14] |  | | Since the requirements of the Norris-LaGuardia Act have not been met, the court did not have jurisdiction to grant an injunction unless by virtue of that phase of the bill which charged a violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. |  | | The Court of Appeals concluded that the defendants' picketing activities constituted a secondary boycott in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and that for this reason regardless of the Norris- LaGuardia Act, the District Court had jurisdiction to grant an injunction even though the case arose out of or involved a labor dispute. |
