29 U.S.C. § 101 — Issuance of restraining orders and injunctions; limitation; public policy
submitted 94 years ago by ch. 90 to r/title-29-LABOR · 68 words · no verdicts yet
This section limits federal courts' power over labor disputes. Courts cannot issue restraining orders or injunctions in labor disputes except as this chapter allows. Any such order must also follow this chapter's stated public policy.
This section limits when federal courts can step into labor disputes.
No United States court, as this chapter defines "court," has the power to issue a restraining order or a temporary or permanent injunction in a case involving or arising from a labor dispute — unless it does so in strict compliance with the rules this chapter lays out.
In addition, no such restraining order or injunction may be issued if it goes against the public policy this chapter declares.
In short: federal courts can only block labor-dispute actions through the narrow, specific procedure and policy this chapter sets, not through their ordinary injunction powers.
No court of the United States, as defined in this chapter, shall have jurisdiction to issue any restraining order or temporary or permanent injunction in a case involving or growing out of a labor dispute, except in a strict conformity with the provisions of this chapter; nor shall any such restraining order or temporary or permanent injunction be issued contrary to the public policy declared in this chapter.
