INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MACHINISTS & AEROSPACE WORKERS, AFL-CIO and IAM District Lodge 143, Appellees, v. NORTHWEST AIRLINES, INC., Appellant.
No. 87-5523.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
March 18, 1988.
John J. Gallgher, Washington, D.C., for appellant.
Joseph Guerrieri, Jr., Washington, D.C., for appellees.
Before HEANEY, BOWMAN, and MAGILL, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
ORDER
The order of the District Court granting a preliminary injunction is reversed for the following reasons:
1) The National Mediation Board is not vested with adjudicative power of the issues presented;
2) The appellees' request for mediation before the National Mediation Board based on a transition agreement was illegal because it contained non-mandatory bargaining issues;
3) The Norris-LaGuardia Act is applicable and prohibits the issuance of a preliminary injunction in view of ap-pellees' conduct.
A clarifying opinion will follow.
