United States DC Circuit

In a suit claiming the defendant violated its Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with plaintiff's union when it transferred him to another position, dismissal of the suit is reversed where plaintiff's claim arose under section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act but nonetheless was timely filed because, for the type of claim plaintiff advanced, section 301 borrows the District of Columbia's limitation period for a breach of contract action, which is three years.
