Supreme Court Rules Labor Unions Can Be Sued Under Sherman Act
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that labor unions may be punished under the Sherman antitrust law for boycotts against manufacturers in interstate commerce, with penalties up to three times the damages. The decision intensifies the conflict between labor and capital and follows related rulings on employment discriminations and carrier liability. The case stemmed from Danbury hat maker Nestrich Lowe resisting unionizing efforts by the United Hatters of North America, triggering a nationwide boycott and public listing of his firm in union materials.
