Since the founding of Local One nearly 125 years ago we have fought for the rights of working men and women. During that time we have had to occasionally take our grievances to the courts when we had exhausted all of our options to bargain and negotiate in good faith. This page will be dedicated to publishing the text of some of those legal battles that Local One has fought and won on behalf of its members and consequently for the benefit of working people everywhere. The first case we will be presenting is: LoPresti vs. Terwilliger United States Court of Appeals, 1996 starting with a commentary followed by the full text of the legal decision.
