Avco Corp. v. Aero Lodge No. 735, Int'l Ass'n of Machinists

In Avco Corp. v. Aero Lodge No. 735, Int'l Ass'n of Machinists, 390 U.S. 557, 88 S.Ct. 1235, 20 L.Ed.2d 126 (1968), which first held that a defendant may remove a Sec. 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 185 suit despite the state court's concurrent jurisdiction, the effect of removal was to dissolve a labor injunction granted by the state court that the federal court was prohibited from granting by the Norris LaGuardia Act. Avco thus illustrates that this type of removal is most appropriate where Congress has created an exclusive federal remedy that displaces any overlapping or inconsistent state remedies.
