SAN JOSE DIVISION

Granite Rock Company,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Teamsters Local 287,

Defendant.

 /

NO. C 04-02767 JW 

INTERLOCUTORY JUDGMENT

This is an action by Plaintiff Granite Rock Company against Defendant Teamsters Local 287

for breach of a Collective Bargaining Agreement pursuant to Section 301(a) of the Labor

Management Relations Act 29 U.S.C. §185(a). The Court bifurcated for separate determination the

issue of whether the Tentative Agreement had been ratified. The issue of ratification was tried to a

jury. On May 3, 2007, the jury returned its verdict as follows: on July 2, 2004, a vote was taken by

the employees of Granite Rock's San Jose Concrete facility, who were members of Local 287. A

majority of the employees voted to accept the Tentative Agreement.

On the basis of the jury verdict, interlocutory judgment is entered that on July 2, 2004 the

Tentative Agreement was ratified by the members of Teamsters Local 287.

On a separate issue submitted to the jury, the jury found that on July 2, 2004 Granite Rock

did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. George Netto notified Mr. Bruce

Woolpert that the Tentative Agreement had been ratified by the members of Local 287. No

interlocutory judgment is entered at this time with respect to this finding.
