Summary
The Court unanimously held, per curiam, that Alabama courts lacked jurisdiction to restrain the union’s peaceful picketing and solicitation of advertisers. Although the radio station’s individual receipts fell below the National Labor Relations Board’s jurisdictional threshold, the record established that it belonged to an integrated enterprise whose receipts exceeded that threshold. Because the Board would not decline jurisdiction and federal labor law regulated the challenged conduct, state jurisdiction had to yield. The Court reversed the judgment below; there were no separate opinions.
Holding
- Application of the Board’s jurisdictional standards to commonly operated radio stations.. The Holt stations constituted an integrated enterprise under the Board’s single-employer criteria, and this was not a case the Board had announced it would decline to hear.
- State jurisdiction over the union’s picketing and solicitation of advertisers.. State jurisdiction had to yield because the challenged conduct was regulated by federal labor law and the dispute was not one over which the Board would decline jurisdiction.
