- Title
COMPANY MUST CONTRIBUTE TO FUND ON BEHALF OF OWNER-EMPLOYEES.
- Abstract
The Illinois Conference of Teamsters and Employers Welfare Fund and its trustees brought this action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Labor-Management Relations Act against Double M Trucking, a sole proprietorship. The fund sought to recover health and welfare benefit contributions allegedly due under the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement on the basis of hours worked by certain owner-operators engaged by the company. It is noted that a trucking firm must make contributions to multiemployer health and welfare fund on basis of hours worked by owner-operators and company drivers, where the collective bargaining agreement gave employers control over the work of owner-operators and the power to treat them as employees under common law right-to-control test.
