The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a
decision on April 17, 2014 impacting unionized construction contractors and
industry stakeholders alike by overturning a previous lower court decision.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, reversing the Superior
Court’s decision, found that bargaining unit member employees of the prime
contractor are not "subcontractors" as defined by Pennsylvania's
Mechanics' Lien Law of 1963. Trustees of
the bargaining unit’s employee benefits trust funds were not entitled to file
mechanic's lien claims on the bargaining unit member’s behalf for unpaid
contributions to the trust funds.
