SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 28 – A contractor
building the East Elmhurst
Branch Library Expansion" in
Queens failed to makes its
ERISA payments in 2017 and
2018; the union sued.
On
September 28 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Barbara C.
Moses held a proceeding. Inner
City Press covered it.
It emerged
that the parties were near
settling, but that in the
union there are numerous steps
for such a settlement.
The amount at
issue, some $78,000, was
described as small.
Judge
Moses agreed to refer the
parties to mediation, and to
extend but not stay discovery.
The case is
Trustees of the New York City
District Council of Carpenters
Pension Fund, Welfare Fund,
Annuity Fund, Apprenticeship,
Journeyman Retraining,
Educational and Industry Fund
et al v. The Outfit M&J
LLC et al., 19-cv-10515 (Swain
