LA Rev Stat § 23:821 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 23 - Labor and Worker's Compensation|§821. Definitions

RS 821 - Definitions When used in Parts I and II of this Chapter, and for the purposes thereof: (1) A case shall be held to involve or to grow out of a labor dispute when the case involves persons who are engaged in a single industry, trade, craft, or occupation, or who are employees of one employer, or who are members of the same or an affiliated organization of employers or employees, whether such dispute is (1) between one or more employers or associations of employers and one or more employees or associations of employees, or (2) between one or more employers or associations of employers, or (3) between one or more employees or associations of employees and one or more employees or associations of employees; or (4) when the case involves any conflicting or competing interests in a "labor dispute", as hereinafter defined, of "persons participating or interested" therein, as hereinafter defined. (2) A person or association shall be held to be a person participating or interested in a labor dispute if relief is sought against him and if he is engaged in the industry, trade, craft, or occupation in which such dispute occurs, or is a member, officer, or agent of any association of employers or employees engaged in such industry, trade, craft, or occupation. (3) The term "labor dispute" includes any controversy concerning terms or conditions of employment, or concerning the association or representation of persons in negotiating, fixing, maintaining, changing, or seeking to arrange terms or conditions of employment, or concerning employment relations, or any other controversy arising out of the respective interests of employer and employee, regardless of whether or not the disputants stand in the proximate relation of employer and employee.
LA Rev Stat § 23:822 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 23 - Labor and Worker's Compensation|§822. Freedom of organization and other activities; declaration of policy

RS 822 - Freedom of organization and other activities; declaration of policy In the interpretation and application of this Chapter, the public policy of this state is declared as follows: Negotiation of terms and conditions of labor should result from voluntary agreement between employer and employee. Governmental authority has permitted and encouraged employers to organize in the corporate and other forms of capital control. In dealing with such employers the individual unorganized worker is helpless to exercise actual liberty of contract and to protect his freedom of labor, and thereby to obtain acceptable terms and conditions of employment. Therefore, it is necessary that the individual workman have full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of his own choosing, to negotiate the terms and conditions of his employment, and that he shall be free from the interference, restraint, or coercion of employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation of such representatives or in self-organization or in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.

LA Rev Stat § 23:843 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 23 - Labor and Worker's Compensation|§843. Injunctive relief; declaration of policy regarding procedure for granting

RS 843 - Injunctive relief; declaration of policy regarding procedure for granting In the interpretation and application of R.S. 23:844 through 23:847, the public policy of this State is declared as follows: Legal procedure that permits a complaining party to obtain sweeping injunctive relief that is not preceded by or conditioned upon notice to and hearing of the responding party or parties, or that issues after hearing based upon written affidavits alone and not wholly or in part upon examination, confrontation and cross-examination of witnesses in open court, is peculiarly subject to abuse in labor litigation for the reasons that: (1) The status quo cannot be maintained but is necessarily altered by the injunction; (2) Determination of issues of veracity and of probability of fact from affidavits of the opposing parties that are contradictory, and, under the circumstances, untrustworthy rather than from oral examination in open court is subject to grave error; (3) Error in issuing the injunctive relief is usually irreparable to the opposing party; and (4) Delay incident to the normal course of appellate practice frequently makes ultimate correction of error in law or in fact unavailing in the particular case.

The restraining order, or temporary or permanent injunction shall be binding only upon the parties to the suit, their agents, servants, employees and attorneys, or those in active concert and participation with them, and who shall by personal service or otherwise have received actual notice of the same.
LA Rev Stat § 23:847 (2021)
