Andrew  N. Howe

Experience

Obtained Reversal and Summary Judgment on Multi-employer Pension Plan Amendments Act

Client: A Manufacturing Company

Andrew Howe represented a manufacturing company against a large multi-employer pension fund regarding a dispute over whether pension contributions were owed to the fund for hours worked by temporary personnel workers. Counsel for the fund argued contributions were owed despite the fact these workers were not employees of the employer who was party to the collective bargaining agreement. Summary judgment was awarded on behalf of the fund, but on appeal Mr. Howe obtained a reversal and entry of summary judgment in favor of the employer in a case of first impression to the Third Circuit.
