The applicant employer sought declarations and directions regarding alleged unlawful strike activity and picketing by the responding union and its members.
Employees at one plant were engaged in a lawful strike and picketed other plants of the employer.
Employees at the other plants refused to cross the picket lines.
The Board found that the refusal to cross the picket lines constituted an unlawful strike, which was authorized and encouraged by the union and its officials.
The Board issued cease and desist orders, while reserving its decision on the lawfulness of the picketing itself.
