MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mead v. Retail Clerks Intern. Ass'n, Local Union No. 839, AFL-CIO, 523 F.2d 1371 (9th Cir. 1975):
The earliest case awarding such attorneys' fees simply asserts that fees paid "to bring about the removal of the picket line . . . are proper items of damage." Teamsters Local 984 v. HumKo Co., 287 F.2d 231, 243 (6th Cir. 1961). Subsequent cases simply cite the prior decisions, adding nothing to the rationale.
