What was the Commonwealth v Hunt case about?
The Massachusetts Supreme Court case Commonwealth v. Hunt, 45 Mass. 111, 4 Met. (1842) was an early departure from typical court decisions involving union organization practices during the mid-19th-century industrial era.Hunt and six representatives of the Boston Bootmaker's Union called a strike against a local manufacturer for hiring non-union workers in an attempt to pressure the owner to create a closed (all-union) shop. Hunt and his fellow organizers were arrested convicted under an old English common law practice prohibiting all forms of restraint of trade, and condemning unionization as a criminal conspiracy.Massachusetts Supreme Court Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw held the workers had a right to peaceably assemble and protest on behalf of their common interests, and said the workers could not be indicted as criminal conspirators for organizing a labor union or a strike.Commonwealth v. Hunt was an unusual departure from the pro-business rulings that predominated during that time. While the case set an important precedent, it had little immediate impact on labor laws in the United States. Both the courts and legislature continued to favor business interests over workers until the 1920s and 30s, when various social, economic and political pressures caused a shift more in favor of labor.

Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw ruled that a group of workers banded together to protect common interests was not a criminal conspiracy.Unfortunately, while the case is interesting and unusual, it is not often cited as case law because decisions in higher courts, such as the US Supreme Court, contradicted the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court opinion.
