Synopsis

This book delves into the history of "government by injunction" in the United States, focusing on its applications in labor disputes. It examines the legal justifications for using injunctions to prevent or punish strikes and labor boycotts, and traces the evolution of this practice from its origins in the late 19th century to its widespread use in the early 20th century. The book examines how the courts' use of injunctions to protect property rights came to be seen as an infringement on the constitutional right to trial by jury, and discusses the resulting criticism and debate surrounding government by injunction. The author argues that the debate over government by injunction exposed fundamental tensions between the judiciary, the legislature, and the executive in the American constitutional system, and ultimately contributed to the development of modern labor law in the United States. By providing a comprehensive overview of this important topic, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the history of labor relations and the role of the courts in shaping American society.
