6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““It is obvious from reading these sections that this statutory scheme does not purport to give the Board general supervisory powers over controversies between labor organizations relating to work assignments. The Board may act only when a charge has been filed and a mere disagreement over work assignments is not enough to create an unfair labor practice. * * * We think to hold that the District Court has no jurisdiction would run counter to the position which Congress has accorded to voluntary adjustments.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“(a) It shall be unlawful, for the purpose of this section only, in an industry or activity affecting commerce, for any labor organization to engage in any activity or conduct defined as an unfair labor prac tice in section 158(b) (4) of this title. (b) Whoever shall be injured in his business or property by reason or [sic] any violation of subsection (a) of this section may sue therefor in any district court of the United States subject to the limitations and provisions of section 185 of this title without respect to the amount in controversy, or in any other court having jurisdiction of the parties, and shall recover the damages by him sustained and the cost of the suit.”
