Morio v. North American Soccer League, 632 F.2d 217, 106 L.R.R.M. (BNA) 2767, 89 Lab.Cas. P 12,321

Facts

The North American Soccer League (NASL) appealed a preliminary injunction issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The injunction required NASL and its member clubs to bargain in good faith with a certified players' union and prohibited them from unilaterally changing employment terms. The court found that NASL's practices threatened to undermine the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) processes, necessitating aggressive remedial relief to ensure effective labor relations.

Issue

Did the practices of the North American Soccer League threaten to render the National Labor Relations Board's processes ineffective, justifying the issuance of a preliminary injunction?

The court emphasized the necessity of aggressive remedial relief to restore fair bargaining practices and protect the interests of the players' union.

Conclusion

The court affirmed the injunction, concluding that the relief granted was just and proper under the circumstances.

Who won?

The players' union prevailed in this case as the court upheld the injunction against the North American Soccer League.

The court recognized the need for aggressive remedial measures to ensure fair labor practices and protect the rights of the players.

The Union's prestige and legitimacy with its members has been severely eroded by the League's conduct during the past two years.
