Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit February 12, 1975, Nos. 73-1270, 73-1393 and 73-2197 (Pete v. United Mine Workers of America Welfare & Retirement Fund of 1950)

lead-opinion

LEVENTHAL, Circuit Judge:

These class actions are the latest, and hopefully the last, in a series of cases challenging the validity of the “signatory last employment” provision limiting eligibility for the flat retirement pension provided by the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund of 1950 (the Fund).
