The 2002 case was the first case to arise primarily from a lockout by an employer. Did the court have the right to issue a Taft-Hartley injunction not only against the lockout but also against any future strike?
Section 208(a) refers to a "threatened" strike as a basis for an injunction. Moreover, the lockout was at least in part occasioned by work slowdowns in various ports. The court then determined that in the totality of the circumstances existing in October 2002 that it was clear that a strike was threatened within the meaning of the Act. Accordingly the court determined to enjoin a threatened strike during the 80-day period of injunction.
