UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA v. RAWSON

No. 89-322.

495 U.S. 362 (1990)

UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA, AFL-CIO-CLC v. RAWSON, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS GUARDIAN AD LITEM FOR RAWSON, ET AL.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided May 14, 1990


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George H. Cohen argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs were Robert M. Weinberg, Julia P. Clark, Laurence Gold, Bernard Kleiman, Carl Frankel, Paul D. Carey, and James D. Nelson.

Kenneth B. Howard argued the cause for respondents. With him on the brief were Kerwin C. Bennett and Lloyd J. Webb.*


JUSTICE WHITE delivered the opinion of the Court.

We granted certiorari in this case because the decisions of the Supreme Court of Idaho, holding that petitioner may be liable under state law for the negligent inspection of a mine where respondents' decedents worked, raised important questions about the operation of federal and state law in defining the duties of a labor union acting as a collective-bargaining agent.
