Text: 30 The Hospital provided substantial evidence regarding the injury it sustained as a result of the Union's fraudulent conduct. The burden to the Union of clarifying its banner, however, is slight in light of the narrowness of the district court's injunction. Shortly after the district court issued its injunction in this case, the Union began displaying a second banner with twelve-inch red capital lettering alongside the first banner which reads: BEST INTERIORS IS THE RAT CONTRACTOR. The Hospital filed an ex parte application to the district court, asking for a contempt citation, but the district court ruled that the injunction had not been violated because the Union had clarified the misleading nature of the term rats. Due to the narrow scope of the district court's injunction and the ease with which the Union complied with its requirements, the Union has been burdened only slightly at best as a result of the issuance of the injunction.
