Ex parte George - 371 U.S. 72 (1962)

U.S. Supreme Court

Ex parte George, 371 U.S. 72 (1962)

Ex parte George

No. 375

Decided November 13, 1962

371 U.S. 72

Syllabus

Petitioner's action in peacefully picketing premises of a wholly owned and controlled subsidiary of an employer involved in a labor dispute was at least arguably protected by § 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, and a state court was without jurisdiction to enjoin such picketing or to imprison petitioner for violating its temporary injunction against such picketing. Therefore, certiorari is granted; the judgment of the Supreme Court of Texas setting aside its original writ of habeas corpus is vacated; and the cause is remanded to that Court for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion. Pp. 371 U. S. 72-73.
