General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

National Labor Relations Board v. Fruit & Vegetable Packers & Warehousemen, Local 760 No. 88 Argued February 18-19, 1964 Decided April 20, 1964 377 U.S. 58
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Respondent union, while on strike, conducted a consumer boycott of the employers’ products, pursuant to which it engaged in peaceful picketing and distributed handbills at markets selling such products. The signs and handbills asked the public not to purchase primary employers’ products. The National Labor Relations Board held that § 8(b)(4) of the National Labor Relations Act was intended by Congress to prohibit all consumer picketing at secondary establishments. The Court of Appeals rejected that conclusion, holding that the crucial issue is whether the secondary employer is in fact coerced or threatened by the picketing, and remanded for a finding on that issue.
Held: Peaceful secondary picketing of retail stores directed solely at appealing to consumers to refrain from buying the primary employer’s product is not prohibited by § 8(b)(4). Pp. 63-73.
113 U.S.App.D.C. 356, 308 F.2d 311, judgment vacated and case remanded.
