TAMILIA, Judge,
concurring statement:
Upon review of the Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by Cavanaugh, J., I continue to join Hoffman, J. Since our review on the merits determined the trial court improperly granted appellee’s complaint in equity seeking to enjoin appellant’s activity, we necessarily have ruled that injunctive relief should have been denied. In correcting the actions of the trial court and reversing the decree, we have, in effect, denied the injunction. I believe it would not fulfill the intent of the Labor Anti-Injunction Act to deny appellants a benefit of that Act, that is, to seek counsel fees and costs. I do not believe the dissent meets the issue by limiting section 206d of the Act to situations where the trial court denies the injunction. Here, it should have denied the injunction on the facts before it, and the union should not be denied a remedy because the trial court misconstrued the law. The majority Opinion properly provides the total relief to which appellants are entitled.
