Goldsborough asked for government recommendations for punishment at 10 a m and hinted a light union fine. He said the court found criminal contempt beyond doubt but civil contempt on a technicality, while noting no emphasis on civil contempt. The judge eyed a lighter message for the union, as officials monitor whether courts can curb disruptions to normal life.
