Can a state-law claim be resolved without interpreting the collective bargaining agreement?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Piccolo v. International Broth. of Elec. Workers, Local 206, 930 F.2d 29 (9th Cir. 1991):
It is clear from a review of the record that the state-law claim in this case cannot be resolved without interpreting the collective bargaining agreement. If resolution of the state-law claim depends upon the meaning of the collective bargaining agreement, application of state law is preempted by federal labor-law principles. Lingle v. Norge Division of Magic Chef, Inc., 486 U.S. 399, 405-06 (1988).
