INJUNCTIONS UNDER NEW YORK'S TAYLOR LAW: AN OCCUPATIONAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The labor injunction, once thought to be the primary defense against public sector work stoppages, has not met with the success that the drafters of the New York State Taylor Law had predicted. This article suggests that a complete re-examination of the method in which strikes are enjoined is warranted if the injunction is to be viewed as a viable and respected instrument in maintaining, or in some instances restoring, harmonious and peaceful labor relations. Occupational analysis of work stoppages, length of stoppages, injunctions issued, and contempt of court citations compose the data upon which the research design and methodology for this study was structured.
