After a bankruptcy court granted plaintiff carrier's motion to reject a collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") and permitted the carrier to impose new terms of employment, defendant union notified the carrier of its intent to strike. Before the court was the union's appeal of the District Court for the Southern District of New York's issuance of a preliminary injunction enjoining the union from engaging in any form of work stoppage.
