United States Eleventh Circuit
ASOCIACION DE EMPLEADOS DEL AREA CANALERA (ASEDAC) v. PANAMA CANAL COMMN., 02-13789
The District Court erred in concluding that it lacked jurisdiction, as it wrongly held that 5 U.S.C. section 7121(a) barred it from exercising subject matter jurisdiction over a complaint alleging failure to provide back pay as required by the Panama Canal Treaty.
