Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit August 23, 2001, No. 00-1080 (Long v. General Motors Corp.)

BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge.

Appellants are 108 members of United Auto Workers Local 22 who claim that their employer, General Motors Corp. (“GM”), and their Union violated the terms of the collective bargaining agreement by failing to place their names on a “preferential rehire” list after they were laid off in 1987.
