context: This is particularly so as to plaintiffs' claims for blacklisting which I previously found derive from a "common nucleus" of facts since the blacklisting allegedly occurred in retaliation for the action to recover wages. Judicial economy, deference to plaintiffs' choice of forum and the avoidance of unnecessary, duplicative and expensive litigation all support retention of jurisdiction in a single forum.
