Summary
Question: Did the Florida Supreme Court properly enjoin union hotel employees from picketing at twelve Miami resort hotels where the action was not under the explicit jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Act? Conclusion: No. In a per curiam opinion, the Court held that the Florida Supreme Court did not properly enjoin the union employees from picketing the resort hotels. The Court held that the strike's status under the National Labor Relations Act did not control the case. Instead, the Court looked to whether or not any violence resulted from the picketers’ activities. It held that none of the district courts made any finding of violence sufficient to merit an injunction from the Florida Supreme Court. The Court determined that it was not necessary to consider whether interstate commerce was involved in the Florida resort hotel industry.
