labor picketing
Parties having no relation to either the dispute or the industry in which it arose; a business wholly outside the economic context of the real dispute, of a person whose relation to the dispute arises from his business dealings with one of the disputants, as distinguished from establishments where there exists an interdependence of economic interest of all engaged in the same industry.
How often courts cite the case defining “neutrals”
Court decisions citing the opinion that defined “neutrals” — 429 in all, by decade. Counts are citations to the defining case as a whole, not verified uses of the term. The dip in the most recent years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the latest years.
