In Johnson v. Rancho Santiago Comm. Coll. Dist., No. 08-56963, an action challenging a public project labor agreement as preempted by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and as violative of their rights to substantive and procedural due process and to equal protection, the court affirmed summary judgment for defendants where 1) entering into the agreement constituted market participation not subject to preemption by the NLRA or ERISA; 2) the agreement did not violate the plaintiffs’ liberty interest in pursuing their careers as electricians; and 3) the agreement was rationally related to the district’s legitimate interest in preventing labor disruptions.
