Court tosses back Wharves labor suit
A Fifth Circuit panel in New Orleans sent the Galveston Wharves labor dispute back to Galveston for further action. The suit, filed by unions representing 19 unions, challenges the 1937 transfer of the port railroad to Galveston Railway Inc under the Railway Labor Act. The court reversed a district ruling dissolving a temporary restraining order and remanded to determine potential Act violations and injunction need.
