In a labor labor dispute involving reduction of healthcare benefits to union members, decision of the district is reversed as a defendant who successfully obtains dissolution of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in a labor dispute case may recover its damages, fees and costs under section seven of the Norris-LaGuardia Act, 29 U.S.C. section 107, even if no bond was ordered prior to dissolution of the injunction.
