From 381 U.S. 657 - United Mine Workers v. Pennington · 1965Most cited · 2,788 citing opinions
a union forfeits its exemption from the antitrust laws when it is clearly shown that it has agreed with one set of employers to impose a certain wage scale on other bargaining units. One group of employers may not conspire to eliminate competitors from the industry and the union is liable with the employers if it becomes a party to the conspiracy.
