Shupe v. Nelson

Plaintiffs, who consist of Butchers Union, Local No. 120, its secretary-treasurer, and several members of the union, sought to recover, for all members similarly situated, wages allegedly due from the defendant meat processors under the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement which guaranteed the regular employees a five-day, forty-hour work week. The defendants, members of the Pacific Coast Meat Jobbers Association, attacked the complaint by demurrer, and motion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs have appealed from an adverse judgment entered following the granting of defendants motion.
