United States Seventh Circuit

In a suit by the NLRB alleging violations of federal labor laws, grant of a preliminary injunction against defendant, enjoining it from engaging in unfair labor practices, is affirmed where: 1) an award of damages in future years would be an inadequate remedy; 2) defendant's employees were likely to suffer substantial and irreparable harm if defendant were allowed to continue to subvert the union until the case was resolved; 3) injunctive relief was in the public interest; 4) plaintiff had a sufficient likelihood of success on the merits; and 5) the injunction itself was sufficiently specific as to the acts restrained or required.
