[PROPOSED] SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND ORDER

Case No. 2:13-cv-02176-TLN-KJN

The Parties, Plaintiff, RedFox Industries Inc. (herein “RedFox”) and Defendants, 

Carpenters 46 Counties Conference Board and Carpenters Local Union 46 and an interested 

third party, Miller Paneling Specialties, Inc. (herein “Miller Paneling”) enter this agreement to 

resolve their dispute concerning Arbitrator Hirsch’s April 15, 2013 award against Miller

Paneling. 

1. Miller Paneling and RedFox will pay pension, annuity and vacation 

contributions for the Miller Paneling grievants employed by Miller Paneling for all hours of 

work they performed for RedFox in the 46 Northern California Counties after January 1, 2011. 

This includes only Ida Garza, Salvador Garza, Mike Neal and Daniel Estrada.

2. Miller Paneling and RedFox will pay back pay differential for any of the Miller 

Paneling grievants (Ida Garza, Salvador Garza, Mike Neal and Daniel Estrada) who performed 

work for RedFox in the 46 Northern California Counties from February 16, 2013 to the present.

3. To determine these amounts, Miller Paneling and RedFox will submit to the audit 

in the April 15, 2013 award that is the subject of this dispute but only as to the four Miller

Paneling grievants (Ida Garza, Salvador Garza, Mike Neal and Daniel Estrada). 

4. If any person comes forward with evidence that they performed work covered by 

the Carpenters Master Labor Agreement for Northern California while employed with RedFox

prior to the date of execution of this agreement, and did not receive the proper wages and fringe 

benefits for those hours worked, Miller Paneling and RedFox shall indemnify Carpenters 46 

Counties Conference Board, Carpenters Local 46, any other affiliated local unions and the Benefit

Funds in the Carpenters’ Master Agreement for Northern California for any claim that any person 

makes against them for back pay and fringe benefits for time worked for RedFox during the

period of January 1, 2011 to present.

5. Carpenters 46 Counties Conference Board, Carpenters Local 46 and their affiliates 

waive any petition to confirm the arbitration award that is the subject of this dispute provided 

RedFox and Miller Paneling comply with the terms of this Settlement Agreement and Order. 

Carpenters 46 Counties Conference Board and Carpenters Local 46 agree not to seek to induce 

any other Miller Paneling employee to bring a claim regarding employment with RedFox. The
