United States Tenth Circuit

In an action by a union claiming a railroad company violated the Railway Labor Act (RLA), a conditional grant of an anti-strike injunction in favor of the railroad is reversed and remanded for the deletion of a condition that the parties submit their dispute to a previously-formed arbitration panel where the imposition of such a condition constituted an abuse of discretion.
