An injunction is a court order that requires a party to stop a particular activity or behavior. In this scenario, the employer can seek an injunction to stop the union from going on strike, as the agreement between the parties contained a no-strike clause. The fact that the union claims to have misunderstanding regarding the agreement does not necessarily invalidate the no-strike clause. The court will consider the wording of the agreement and the circumstances surrounding it to determine its validity.
