Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the Second Circuit impermissibly expand the jurisdiction of LMRA § 301(a) and drastically alter national labor policy

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Did the Second Circuit impermissibly expand the jurisdiction of LMRA § 301(a) and drastically alter national labor policy when it held that a unionsponsored benefit trust fund can be liable for violating collective bargaining agreements even though the trust fund is not a labor organization and was not a signatory or party to any of the agreements? 2. Can a union-sponsored medical and hospital benefit trust fund whose assets are held solely for the benefit of union members and their dependents be held liable under section 301(b) of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 for the misdeeds of their employers and union? 3. Does a district court have jurisdiction over a federal claim first pled on remand where all federal claims had been dismissed on appeal and the appellate court’s mandate limited the district court’s jurisdiction to exercising supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims?
