Thomas Tynan v. Kstp

In the above case defendant, KSTP, Incorporated, appealed from judgment entered against it in the municipal court of Minneapolis, wherein plaintiff recovered of the defendant $331.35, the amount found due and interest with $14 costs and disbursements as taxed and allowed amounting in all to $345.35. This court reversed, remanding the case to the court below with instructions to make and enter its findings of fact and conclusions of law in accordance with the opinion therein filed April 27, 1956, in which the amount of recovery of claimed vacation-pay rights was ordered pursuant to terms of contract entered into between Local No. 1216 of the Radio Broadcast Technicians Union, plaintiffs bargaining agent, and the defendant corporation and not otherwise. This resulted in recovery by plaintiff of vacation-pay rights limited to 14 consecutive days at the rate of $95 per week. The court below had found plaintiff entitled to recover pro rata vacation pay for the period from October 1, 1949, to April 5, 1950, inclusive, applying quantum meruit and the rule of quasi-contract.
