Description
This action under section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 (L.M.R.A.), 29 U.S.C. § 185, centers around H.K. Porter's two-part sale of a brickmaking plant in Pascagoula, Mississippi. In the District Court, the plaintiff class of employees contended that its former employer, H.K. Porter Co., Inc., breached its obligations under the collective bargaining agreement. The class also contended that the International Union (Aluminum, Brick, and Clay Workers, AFL-CIO) breached its duty of fair representation. The trial court found no liability on the part of the appellee employer, but assessed damages against the appellant International Union. The International Union appealed the finding of liability and the plaintiff class of employees (represented by J. C. Farr and Glendell Green) cross-appealed the finding of no liability for the employer. Unfortunately, we are unable at this juncture to say whether the International Union, the initial employer or the former employees win or lose since our ruling on the statute of limitations requires a remand for a factual determination on that issue. Equally unfortunate, the reader must patiently await the description of underlying facts before we reach the critical limitations issue.
