Joseph P. Hansen, Trustee of Local Union P-9 v. Lynn Huston, et al, Civ. 3-86-437, 3-86-490, and 3-86-960. A dispute concerning management and control of a United Food and Commercial Workers union local was fought out at length in court, with Judge Devitt's rulings in favor of the parent union being upheld on appeal. The dispute was triggered by Local P-9's decision to continue supporting a strike and boycott against Hormel even after the parent union ordered such support to stop. Secondary issues included motions for restraining orders against strike propaganda activities and against defacement of a pro-strike mural painted in the Austin, MN local P-9 office building. This folder includes appeals court decisions, major orders, and news clippings which provide an overview of the case. I
