Order of Railway Conductors v. Jones green

1950A case somewhat in point to the instant case is that of Order of Railway Conductors v. Jones, 78 Colo. 80 , 239 P. 882, 883 , wherein the Court says: “It is enough to say that to induce without justification an employer to break his contract of employment with his employee is an actionable violation of the employee’s right to labor.” This seems to us a fair and reasonable definition of what would constitute an actionable act under the circumstances here considered.
