Description

RYAN, Circuit Judge. The plaintiff, Robert DeCoe, appeals a summary judgment dismissing his claims of slander, tortious interference with economic relations, conspiracy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress against his former employer, defendant General Motors Corporation. DeCoe's claims were made in response to publicized allegations made by DeCoe's former co-employees at GM, that DeCoe had sexually harassed them. The district court held that section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 185, preempted all of the plaintiff's claims. At issue on appeal is whether the plaintiff's proofs require interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), or rely on a right created by the CBA. We conclude that they do, and therefore we agree with the district court that section 301 preempted all of the plaintiff's claims.
