Loewe v. Lawlor, 208 U.S. 274 (1908) (also referred to as the Danbury Hatters' Case) is a United States Supreme Court case concerning the application of antitrust laws to labor unions. The Court's decision had the effect of outlawing secondary boycotts as violative of the Sherman Antitrust Act, in the face of labor union protests that their actions affected only intrastate commerce. It was also decided that individual unionists could be held personally liable for damages incurred by the activities of their union. Warning: template has been deprecated.
