Court Grants Injunction in Union Interference Case
Superior Judge Oppenheimer barred members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union and allied locals from entering the Fulworth Garment Company at 411 Race Street or pressuring employees. The ruling bars threats or violence to deter workers, while recognizing union rights to organize and strike absent intimidation. The dispute stems from the discharge of Philip Shinkelman and ensuing union actions led by Harry Berkowitz. The judge notes improprieties linked to Mrs. Arties Belle Martz as a spy for nonunion info, though the core order targets coercive acts and protects workplace access and employment rights.
