Power of Local Unions Over Americans in NYC Boycott
The piece argues that Local 3 of the Electricians' Union and local manufacturers and contractors used a boycott against out‑of‑town electrical equipment makers. It notes a 1935 federal injunction, a 1936 Supreme Court ruling, and claims the decision centered on whether the union acted alone or with others. It cites Roosevelt era impact on prices and taxes, and mentions looming damages of $1,200,000 against Local 1.
