Does the threat of termination of medical benefits to striking workers constitute irreparable harm?

In this circuit, the threat of termination of medical benefits to striking workers has been held to constitute irreparable harm. In Whelan v. Colgan, 602 F.2d 1060, 1062 (2d Cir.1979), we stated that "the threatened termination of benefits such as medical coverage for workers and their families obviously raised the spectre of irreparable injury." In the present case, the district court found that the striking workers were exposed to the denial of medical coverage and that irreparable harm existed. The record supports that finding.
