1) Labor Management Relations Act Section 302(e)
grants federal courts jurisdiction to restrain violations of the statute. 29 U.S.C. § 186(e). The Court

next applicable irrevocability period, employees'
check-off authorization revocations that are not sent
during an annual fifteen-day window period and by
certified mail?
