At issue in this case is the representation of workers in union-sponsored benefit funds. The defendants are the funds for the union members’ welfare, apprenticeship, and retirement. The complaint for this class action alleges that all administrators of the funds are from the employers’ side, with none from the employee side. The laws in question are the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 (LMRA or Taft-Hartley).
