United States Ninth Circuit

In an antitrust action challenging a profit-sharing provision between members of a multiemployer bargaining unit, a denial of summary judgment to plaintiff is reversed where a profit sharing agreement that would ordinarily violate the antitrust laws was not excused from compliance under the nonstatutory labor exemption because it constituted an economic weapon used by the employers in their efforts to prevail in a labor dispute.
