United States Second Circuit

The record does not support plaintiff's conclusion that the "picket line clause" agreed upon by defendant and the employer is a "hot cargo" provision protecting employees' refusals to cross illegal secondary picket lines. Plaintiff's petition for enforcement of its cease and desist order is therefore denied.
