Don’t forget 10(l) injunctions, defamation actions under Lynn, and perhaps most significantly of all section 303 suits. 303 suits can be a horror show for unions. Just look at what happened a few years back to ILWU in Portland. We need judges who actually hold capital to its burden of proof. Too often, it’s too easy for employers to bring these suits.
John the only comment I will make is that a court of general jurisdiction usually has a more flexible docket to deal with timely matters. I work with a statutory, specialized court (far away) and its pace is glacial in all matters no matter how urgent to litigants.

What is needed is a specialized Federal District Court of Labor Law.

Fed judges don’t like Title VII discrimination cases either!
Great piece!
