9th Cir: No 301 Preemption of Multiple State Claims
Jump to Comments
A 9th Circuit panel (including Pregerson and Bea) has unanimously reversed Judge Manuel Real on a host of state law claims that Real erroneously held were preempted by § 301. The panel held that the employee’s claims for public policy wrongful termination, fraud, age discrimination, IIED, and NIED did not require interpretation of the CBA, and therefore were not preempted.
