Highlight
Collective bargaining agreements are subject to the Labor Management Relations Act ("LMRA").
Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), employers are generally free to adopt, modify, or terminate welfare plans.
When a state law claim is substantially dependent on the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, the ordinary state law claim is preempted by federal labor-contract law.
The general rule is that a corporation that purchases the assets of another corporation does not succeed to the liabilities of the selling corporation.
