Federal judge blocks ITU strikes in printing industry
Judge Swygert granted a temporary injunction against the International Typographical Union and local unions restraining them from encouraging walkouts or strikes in Indianapolis. The order bars ITU officers and members from any action that harms bargaining with employers and seeks to halt ongoing and planned work stoppages. The ruling cites the Taft Hartley act and allows appeal while the case proceeds before the NLRB.
