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. § 1001, et seq. and Section 302 of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. § 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.
