26 services), or abstaining from the full and proper performance
27 of the duties of employment for the purpose of inducing

15 employment of a day or temporary laborer by an employer if
16 the day or temporary laborer had already been assigned to
17 work for the employer at the time the strike or lockout
18 began.
