Opinion
Opinion
Hamley, J.
The National Labor Relations Board here seeks enforcement of a cease and desist order directed against certain labor organizations and union officials. The order concerns an alleged product boycott of a kind proscribed by section 8(b)(4)(A) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C.A. § 158 (b) (4) (A), as that section read prior to the 1959 amendment.
The order is directed against Local Union No. 751, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, AFL-CIO; North Coast Counties District Council of the United Brotherhood; California State Council of Carpenters; the United Brotherhood (International); E. A. Brown, Bryan Oldfield, and Joseph Cambiano.
These respondents contend that the order should not be enforced because (1) the Board lacks jurisdiction in the matter, (2) there is no outstanding controversy, (3) no statutory violation was established as to any of the respondents, and (4) the order is not limited in its application to the primary and secondary employers involved in the Board proceeding. The relevant facts, as stated in findings made by the Board examiner and adhered to by the Board, are summarized below.
