On August 7th, just as the first boat people were about to be sent to Malaysia, the High Court, Australia's final appeal court, issued a temporary injunction against the deal.
Eisenhofer says the seat holders are prepared to go to trial in mid-November and will file for an injunction to block the deal soon after NYSE and Archipelago file their final S-4, a Securities and Exchange Commission form for shareholders.
The injunction requires the employer to reinstate striking employees before the NLRB has even issued a final ruling on allegations of unfair labor practices.
