Description
West Coast Stationary Engineers Welfare Fund (Fund) appeals from an order granting summary judgment to the City of Kennewick, dismissing the Fund's complaint against the City. The Fund sought reimbursement for payment of increased insurance premiums for employee dental benefits. The trial court held that the participation agreement entered into by the City and the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 280 (Union) controls their dispute over the increased premiums. The Fund contended, and continues to argue, that the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the City and the Union governs the dispute because the CBA obligates the City to maintain the employee dental benefits provided for in the CBA, while the participation agreement merely determines the initial contributions the City was required to make to the Fund. The Fund also argues that the trial court's award of attorney's fees to the City was improper. We affirm, and grant attorney's fees to the City on appeal.
