The picketing continued five days a week, eight hours each day, for several years. Because the content of the picketers’ expression was labor-related, the California Supreme Court held that two state statutes, the Moscone Act (Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 527.3) and Section 1138.1 of the Califor- nia Labor Code, protect the union’s expressive activi- ty and bar injunctive relief to exclude the demonstrators from the store’s private property. Notwithstanding the store’s right to exclude all other kinds of expressive activities (political, religious, and so on), the California Supreme Court held that nei- ther statute violates the U.S. Constitution. In so holding, the California Supreme Court expressly disagreed with the D.C.
