SAN FRANCISCO — A labor group is suing a Nevada foundry, alleging breach of contract and violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

The Board of Trustees as trustees of the CMTA-Glass Molders, Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers Local 164B Pension Trust filed a complaint Aug. 25 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Production Pattern and Foundry Co., Inc., and Does 1 through 10, alleging they failed to make their monthly contribution to the plaintiffs.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs suffered monetary damages of more than $100,000 due to unpaid and late paid contributions. The plaintiffs allege Production Pattern and Foundry breached the bargaining agreement with the plaintiff by failing to remit their employees' contributions.

The plaintiffs seek to order the defendants to pay withdrawal liability of at least $102,313 plus interest, actual damages, legal fees and all other relief the court deems just. They are represented by attorney Kristina M. Zinnen of Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld in Alameda.
