Supreme Court of the United States
Weber v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
March 28, 1955348 U.S. 468
Summary
The Supreme Court held that the Missouri state court lacked jurisdiction to enjoin the International Association of Machinists because the subject matter of the alleged unfair labor practice is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board, and therefore the state injunction was preempted. The Court reversed the state court’s injunction and remanded for further proceedings consistent with federal jurisdiction.
Holding
- Whether a state court may enjoin union conduct that is potentially subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board under the Taft‑Hartley Act. State courts may not enjoin conduct that falls within the subject matter over which the NLRB has exclusive jurisdiction; such state injunctions are preempted.
