Summary

The application of the national antitrust laws to the activites of labor unions had been controversial almost from the beginning, and the controversy continued when the Department of Justice under Thurman Arnold used the antitrust laws to attack unions that used jurisdictional disputes with other unions as a vehicle to preserve their dominant position in construction labor markets. Felix Frankfurter wrote the Court’s opinion “integrating” the sttutes regulating labor unions and monopolies to cut back on Arnold’s campaign.
