1Opinion of the Court
PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:
This case requires us to decide the breadth of the term “labor dispute” as defined by the Norris-LaGuardia Act, 29 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. The union in this case threatened to picket a railroad unless the railroad agreed to subcontract work only to subcontractors who employ the union’s members. We must decide whether the union and the railroad were engaged in a labor dispute. The district court decided that this dispute was not a labor dispute and enjoined the union from picketing. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.. § 1292(a)(1), and we reverse.
