How later courts describe this case
- “a law cannot condition the free exercise of First Amendment rights on the ‘unbridled discretion’ of government officials.”
- where pure speech and commercial speech inextricably intertwined, the entire speech must be classified as fully protected noncommercial speech
- punitive damages not available in “simple” breach of labor contract cases, i.e., those which are “uncomplicated by evidence of fraud or other tortious misconduct”
- "Where there is a collective bargaining agreement providing grievance procedures for a covered dispute, those procedures must be used...."
