A cooling-off period would not be applicable in this situation. Experience has shown that disputes are often settled during the 80-day period. The injunction provided for in the Taft-Hartley Act may not be used for all strikes and lockouts. This injunction is limited to national emergency strikes and lockouts, those that involve national defense or key industries or have a substantial effect on the economy. As the faculty's strike will not have a substantial effect on the economy, the 80-day cooling-off period will not apply.
