Law money 02

ST. LOUIS — A board of trustees is suing a furniture installation contractor, citing alleged violation of workers compensation acts.

Kansas City Carpenters Regional Council and Renee Bell, Ken Stricker, Robert Calhoun, et al. filed a complaint on May 15 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri Eastern Division against Manley Holding Co. alleging that the defendant violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that they have failed to receive an accurate amount owed to them by the defendant under the pension trust, the welfare trust and the vacation trust. This is allegedly due to missing monthly statements showing the total number of regular and overtime hours worked and delinquent contributions as specified in the collective bargaining agreement and trust documents. 

The plaintiffs hold Manley Holding responsible because the defendant allegedly failed and refused to submit complete and accurate reports, failed and refused to make all obligated contributions to the funds and failed to forward to the union all the deducted dues.

The plaintiffs seek payment for delinquent contributions, plus liquidated damages and interest, attorney's fees, costs of court and such additional relief as the court may deem just and proper. They are represented by Greg A. Campbell of Hammond and Shinners PC in St. Louis, Missouri.

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri Eastern Division Case number 4:17-cv-01507-JAR
