JOHN S. GRIFFITH CONSTRUCTION CO., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS & JOINERS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, Carpenters Local Union # 563 and Southern California Conference of Carpenters & Joiners, Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided March 20, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Alan J. Saxe, Hersh & Stoll, Newport Beach, Cal., for plaintiff-appellant.

John T. DeCarlo, DeCarlo & Connor, Los Angeles, Cal., for defendants-appellees.

Before SNEED, SCHROEDER, and BRUNETTI, Circuit Judges.


SNEED, Circuit Judge:

John S. Griffith Construction Co. appeals from the district court's dismissal of its complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Griffith sought a declaratory judgment to ascertain whether it had repudiated a section 8(f) prehire agreement before the signatory unions had attained majority status. We hold that the court below had jurisdiction in the case; therefore, we reverse and remand.

I.
