Description
LAY, Chief Judge The Trustees of the Building Service Employees Insurance Welfare Fund (""Fund"") brought this action pursuant to sections 502 and 515 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (""ERISA""), 29 U.S.C. ร§ร§ 1132 and 1145 (1989), to recover from Paul Garza delinquent contributions owed the Fund under a collective bargaining agreement. Garza asserted that the collective bargaining agreement was void because of lack of majority representation. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Garza. 734 F. Supp. 411. On appeal we hold that Garza's obligation is enforceable under section 515 of ERISA and that Garza is estopped from challenging the validity of the bargaining agreement. We reverse. BACKGROUND
