United States Third Circuit

In plaintiffs' class action suit against defendant-union for violating the Driver's Privacy Protection Act in obtaining their personal information in the union's efforts to unionize CINTAS, the largest domestic employer in the industrial laundry industry, district court's order denying a motion by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation (NRTW) to modify a protective order that restricts access to certain records is affirmed as NRTW lacks standing to request modification of the protective order because the records are not judicial records.
