§104 Enumeration of specific acts not subject to restraining orders or injunctions

Summary

Federal courts cannot issue orders that stop people, for now or forever, from taking certain actions linked to labor disputes. This applies whether someone acts alone or with others. The protected actions include nine types: stopping work or leaving a job; joining or staying in a labor or employer group (even if they made the kind of promise mentioned in section 103); giving, withholding, or paying strike or unemployment help or other money; lawfully helping someone in a court case about the dispute; publicizing the dispute by advertising, speaking, patrolling, or other nonfraudulent, nonviolent methods; meeting peacefully to act or organize; telling others you plan to do these things; agreeing with others to do or not do these things; and advising or urging others to do these things without fraud or violence (also regardless of the kind of promise in section 103).
