Description
Plaintiffs, nine former employees of the Ashtabula Forge Division of ABS Industries, Inc. or of Ashtabula Forge, Inc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as "ABS") who had retired or otherwise left ABS prior to the closing of its Ashtabula Forge plant where they had been employed, appeal from the granting of summary judgment in favor of ABS in this action filed pursuant to § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 185, and § 502 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), 29 U.S.C § 1132. Plaintiffs argue that the collective bargaining agreement granted vested health and welfare retirement benefits to plaintiffs, and that these benefits were improperly terminated by ABS. The district court concluded that these benefits were not vested and were properly terminated pursuant to the provisions of the plan. We REVERSE.
