Task: songer_geniss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to identify the issue in the case, that is, the social and/or political context of the litigation in which more purely legal issues are argued. Put somewhat differently, this field identifies the nature of the conflict between the litigants. The focus here is on the subject matter of the controversy rather than its legal basis. Consider the following categories: "criminal" (including appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence), "civil rights" (excluding First Amendment or due process; also excluding claims of denial of rights in criminal proceeding or claims by prisoners that challenge their conviction or their sentence (e.g., habeas corpus petitions are coded under the criminal category); does include civil suits instituted by both prisoners and callable non-prisoners alleging denial of rights by criminal justice officials), "First Amendment", "due process" (claims in civil cases by persons other than prisoners, does not include due process challenges to government economic regulation), "privacy", "labor relations", "economic activity and regulation", and "miscellaneous".

PER CURIAM.
Respondent, in its motion for rehearing, complains that, in requiring respondent to cease and desist from “interrogating its employees concerning their union sentiments”, as ordered by the Board, we have denied the respondents the right of free speech accorded by the Constitution of the United States, Amend. 1, the express provisions of the Labor Management Relations Act, and the decisions of the courts.
Though we are in no doubt that the language, complained of as an invasion of free speech, when read and considered, as it must be, in its context as a part of subdivision (b), does not have, and may not be given, the effect respondent imputes to it, we are equally in no-doubt that, viewed as a flat and unqualified prohibition, it is objectionable, and in our decree it will be modified by adding to it the words “in a manner constituting interference, restraint, or coercion, in violation of Sec. 8(a)(1).” With this modification of our decree, the motion for rehearing is denied.
