Supreme Court of Arkansas
United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Organization United for Respect at Walmart (“ourwalmart”)…
December 11, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 645
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of the union’s motion to dissolve or modify a stipulated preliminary injunction. Because the circuit court’s ruling rested on multiple independent grounds, including Wal-Mart’s judicial-estoppel argument, and the union challenged only the NLRA-preemption ground on appeal, the court summarily affirmed without reaching the merits of preemption or irreparable harm. Special Justice John V. Phelps, concurring, agreed with the result but expressed concern that the injunction lacked specific factual findings and might be read more broadly than permitted by Rule 65.
