Textile Workers Union v. Lincoln Mills

The Textile Workers Union (plaintiff) sued Lincoln Mills (defendant) in federal court under Taft-Hartley Act Section 301 to compel arbitration of grievances as required by their collective bargaining agreement; the district court found jurisdiction proper and compelled arbitration, but the Fifth Circuit reversed, agreeing jurisdiction existed under the statute but holding the district court lacked authority under federal or state law to grant substantive relief.
