Adames v. Executive Airlines, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that sick leave, among other claims, is a “minor dispute” under the RLA because it concerns the interpretation of the CBA
• ruling that under the analogous Railway Labor Act state overtime pay and vacation time claims are uniformly held to be “inextricably intertwined” with interpretation of terms of the CBA
• explaining that consulting an agreement while litigating a state law claim does not make the claim “dependent” for purposes of Section 301 preemption
• finding claims preempted when CBA interpretation was necessary to determine whether a claim's \factual predicates\ give rise to liability
• affirming preemption of claims for overtime pay where CBA would need to be consulted to determine compensable overtime hours as well as to calculate base and overtime rates of compensation
• RLA preempted plaintiffs’ wage claims because they could not “be resolved independently of the CBA”
