LASKER, District Judge.
This case is the aftermath of a week-long protest by members of a local ironworkers’ union at a Boston constmction site during the summer of 1994. Cranshaw Construction, the project’s general contractor, sues for damages and injunctive relief, alleging that union activity during the protest constituted a secondary boycott prohibited by section 8(b)(4) of the National Labor Relations Act. 29 U.S.C.A. § 158(b)(4)(ii)(B); 29 U.S.C. § 187. Cranshaw also presents various state law claims, all of which Local 7 asserts are preempted by federal law.
