Description
The issue in this appeal is whether the trustees of an employee welfare trust violated the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. ร§ 1001, et seq. and Section 302 of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. ร§ 186, (LMRA), by enacting a certain amendment to the trust agreement. Plaintiffs Pierce, Shirley and Callahan are members of Local 175 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. As a result of a contract between the Union and the Chattanooga Division, East Tennessee Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association, an employer group, the plaintiffs were all participants in the defendant NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust Fund for some time between July 1, 1971, and December 31, 1976. The Fund is a multi-employer, multi-union pooled trust fund, which pays health and disability benefits, and is administered by a Board of Trustees composed of various employer and union representatives.
