In the conduct of the action the court may make appropriate orders corresponding with those described in Rule 52.08(d), and the procedure for dismissal or compromise of the action shall correspond with that provided in Rule 52.08(e).

Nothing in this Rule shall be construed to affect the rights or liabilities of labor unions to sue or be sued.
