§113 Definitions of terms and words used in chapter

Summary

Explains when a court case counts as involving a labor dispute. A case is treated that way when the people or groups in it work in the same business or job type, have direct or indirect stakes in the same work, are employees of the same employer, or belong to the same or a related employer or worker group; the disagreement can be between employers and employees, between employers, between employees, or over competing interests in the same labor issue. "Case involving a labor dispute" — a lawsuit that meets the rules above. "Person participating or interested" — someone in the same trade, with a direct or indirect stake, or a member/officer/agent of a related employer or employee group, where relief is sought against them. "Labor dispute" — any disagreement about job terms or about who represents workers in negotiating or changing those terms, even if the parties are not directly employer and employee. "Court of the United States" — any federal court whose authority Congress has set, including D.C. courts.
