I.

DESCRIPTION OF CASE

Plaintiffs are labor organizations within the meaning of section 301 of the Labor 

Management Relations Act (29 U.S.C. § 185) and Trustees representing employee benefit plans 

created by a written Trust Agreement subject to and pursuant to section 302 of the Labor 

Management Relations Act (29 U.S.C. § 186) and multi-employer employee benefit plans within 

the meaning of sections 3, 4 and 502 of ERISA (29 U.S.C. §§ 1002, 1003 and 1132). 

In this action, Plaintiffs seek to compel the Defendant to comply with the Decision and 

Award of Arbitrator Gerald R. McKay, issued June 6, 2003, pursuant to the terms of a collective 

bargaining agreement between the parties. Plaintiffs seek an Order of this Court confirming said 

Award, and making it a Judgment of this Court. Plaintiffs further seek an injunction compelling 

Defendant to submit to an audit of its books and records to determine if it timely and accurately 

made fringe benefit contributions and for an order requiring Defendant to pay any and all amount 

delinquencies found due under the audit as well as interest and liquidated damages thereon. 

Finally, Plaintiffs seek to enforce the promissory note executed on July 17, 2003 by Defendants 

wherein Defendants promised to pay then owing contributions, interest and liquidated damages.

II.

SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION

This action arises under and is brought pursuant to section 502 of the Employee Retirement 

Income Security Act, as amended (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. § 1132, and section 301 of the Labor 

Management Relations Act (LMRA), 29 U.S.C. § 185. The jurisdiction of this Court is founded on 

28 U.S.C. § 1331. Venue properly lies in this district court because a substantial part of the events 

and omissions giving rise to these claims occurred in this district, including, but not limited to 

Defendants’ agreement with Plaintiffs, which requires that trust funds contributions are due and 

payable in the County of San Francisco.
