213 Cal. App. 2d 434 | Cal. Ct. App. | 1963
These are companion declaratory relief actions in which plaintiffs seek (1) a declaration that certain provisions of a collective bargaining agreement in the plastering industry are invalid; (2) injunction to prevent the enforcement of such invalid provisions; and (3) damages. All plaintiffs later waived damages. The trial court found the challenged provisions of the agreement are invalid and enjoined their enforcement. After the cases had been placed on the calendar in this court for argument the seven unions and the individuals representing said unions dismissed their respective appeals.
At the time for argument the court was advised that the agreement involved in these cases had expired, and that a new and different agreement had been executed. It therefore ap
The appeal in each ease is dismissed.
Ashburn, J., and Herndon, J., concurred.
A petition for a rehearing was denied March 27 , 1963.
This left The Contracting Plasterers Association of Southern California, Inc., and certain individuals representing either this association or the joint conference board that was set up by the collective bargaining agreement as the appellants.
In the interest of completeness it is appropriate to note that there was a third companion case (Local No. 739 of the Operative Plasterers and Cement Masons International Association v. M. J. Russo, Inc., No. 26366) in which Local No. 739 sought confirmation of an award of $41,975 by the joint conference board against Busso for asserted violations of the agreement. The trial court vacated and set aside this award and denied the petition to confirm it. Local 739 filed notice of appeal from this judgment. Prior to argument, however, the union dismissed its appeal.
