Heading: The request for the Shapiro collective bargaining agreement

Text: 7 After Shapiro pulled its work from Sorrento, counsel for the workers made various requests and demands of the union, including demands to be provided with a copy of the union's collective bargaining agreement with Shapiro. Counsel originally made this request in a letter to UNITE SW dated June 27, 1997, and renewed the request in a letter to UNITE dated July 29, 1997. UNITE SW, through its counsel, denied the request in a letter dated July 9, 1997, stating that such documents would not be disclosed in the absence of a legal obligation to do so. UNITE never specifically responded to the request for the Shapiro CBA but replied to the letter in which the request was made on August 14, 1997. 8
