General Textile Printing & Processing Corp. v. Expromtorg International Corp.

The case involves a breach of contract action filed by General Textile Printing & Processing Corp. (GTP), a Connecticut corporation with offices in New York City, against Expromtorg International Corp. and its president, Guennadi Razouvaev, both Michigan residents. The defendants moved to stay the litigation in favor of arbitration, citing an arbitration clause in the original sales notes (OSN), and also sought to dismiss claims against Razouvaev for lack of personal jurisdiction. Plaintiff GTP opposed these motions and filed a cross-motion to stay arbitration, arguing that a later, unsigned settlement stipulation had supplanted the arbitration agreement and that defendants had waived their right to arbitrate through litigation. The Court denied the motion to dismiss Razouvaev, finding a prima facie case for piercing the corporate veil based on alleged fraudulent conduct. Ultimately, the Court denied GTP's cross-motion, ruling that the arbitration agreement in the OSN remained effective and that no waiver of arbitration had occurred, thus granting defendants' motion to stay the entire action pending arbitration.

New York Typographical Union No. 6 v. AA Job Printing

The case concerns a petition by New York Typographical Union No. 6 to confirm arbitration awards against employers AA Job Printing Corp. and The Jewish Press, Inc., for violations of a collective bargaining agreement. The employers cross-moved for summary judgment to dismiss the petition, arguing the awards were not final and that a pending National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) matter preempted the action. The court noted the employers' procedural defaults but favored a decision on the merits. District Judge ROBERT L. CARTER ruled that the arbitration awards were final and definite, and the federal court's jurisdiction under Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act was independent of the NLRB's jurisdiction. The court also dismissed the employers' unsupported claim of sexual discrimination. Consequently, the court granted summary judgment in favor of the Union, confirming the arbitration awards, and denied the employers' cross-motion.

Corporate Printing Co. v. New York Typographical Union No. 6

Corporate Printing Company, Inc. sought to stay an arbitration initiated by New York Typographical Union No. 6 concerning contributions to a Benefit and Productivity Fund and to dismiss the designated arbitrator, Walter L. Eisenberg. Corporate Printing also sought to initiate a second arbitration under "League Option A." The court considered whether Corporate Printing, having withdrawn from the 'League,' could exercise rights previously granted to the League under a 1975 collective bargaining agreement. The court ruled that Corporate Printing could not unilaterally dismiss the arbitrator nor invoke rights explicitly granted to the League. Claims of arbitrator bias and procedural non-compliance were deemed premature or matters for the arbitrator. Consequently, the initial arbitration proceeded, while Corporate Printing's requested arbitration was stayed.

Hellman v. Program Printing, Inc.

This case involves a petition to confirm and enforce an arbitration award stemming from a labor dispute. The petitioner union accused Program Printing of violating a collective bargaining agreement by transferring work, leading to a layoff. An arbitrator found in favor of the union, ordering the company to cease work transfer and reinstate the employee with back pay. Although the employee was initially reinstated, he was not rehired the following season, prompting the union to seek court intervention. The court confirmed the original arbitration award but denied the request for enforcement, concluding that the new dispute regarding the employee's re-employment due to alleged changed circumstances should be resolved through further arbitration.

Talyansky v. Mercury Print Productions, Inc.

Plaintiff Victoria Talyansky filed a complaint against Mercury Print Productions, Inc., alleging sex-based employment termination in violation of Title VII. The defendant moved to dismiss the complaint, arguing it was untimely. Talyansky claimed she discovered a male replacement in 1997, nearly three years after her 1994 termination, and subsequently filed an EEOC charge which was dismissed due to exceeding the 300-day filing limit. The court found Talyansky's complaint time-barred, noting her failure to file the EEOC charge within the statutory period and her inability to sufficiently plead a basis for equitable tolling. Consequently, the defendant's motion to dismiss was granted, and the complaint was dismissed.

Trustees of ALA-Lithographic Pension Plan v. Crestwood Printing Corp.

The Trustees of the ALA-Lithographic Industry Pension Plan (IPP) sued Crestwood Printing Corporation (Crestwood) under ERISA and LMRA for allegedly failing to make required pension contributions, specifically regarding the inclusion of overtime pay in base pay calculations. The dispute revolves around the interpretation of three agreements between Crestwood and the Amalgamated Lithographers of America, Local One. Plaintiff filed a motion in limine to exclude evidence concerning the validity of Agreement #3 and the interpretation of the 1997 Memorandum of Agreement. The court denied the plaintiff's motion, ruling that Crestwood's defense of fraud in the execution (which argues Agreement #3 is void) is permissible under ERISA and not preempted by the NLRA. The court also allowed the use of extrinsic evidence to clarify the ambiguous 1997 MOA and permitted Crestwood's ratification defense.
