   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3018
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Labor Law. District court erred in granting Local 1
   judgment as a matter of law on plaintiff's claim that Local 1's picketing
   violated Section 303of the Labor Management Relations Act; plaintiff
   presented sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to find that Local 1
   engaged in unlawful secondary activity on plaintiff's projects at a local
   college and school district, and the evidence was sufficient to prove that
   the unlawful activity proximately caused damages to plaintiff by delaying
   the completion of the projects; district court did not err in dismissing
   plaintiff's defamation claims against Local 1because the statements in
   question were not defamatory under Missouri law; district court also
   erred in granting Local 1 judgment as a matter of law on claim Local 1
   violated plaintiff's president's privacy by hiring private investigators to
   watch his home, as the evidence was sufficient to create a jury issue as to 
   whether Local 1 committed the tort of unreasonable intrusion on the
   seclusion of another.
