7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Mark McCleskey, trustee, et al. v. DLF Construction Inc., an Indiana corporation
11-1826
U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge William T. Lawrence.
Civil. Affirms finding that the construction company, as employer, had to contribute to the funds for all hours worked by members of the union, not just bargaining unit work. The collective bargaining agreements are clear that DLF is required to make contributions to the pension and health and welfare funds for each hour worked by a covered employee.

Indiana Supreme Court
Robert L. Clark, Jr. and Debra Clark v. Robert L. Clark, Sr.
01S02-1112-CT-690
Civil tort. Reverses judgment in favor of Clark Sr. in Clark Jr.’s suit after his father hit him with his car while trying to give his father directions. Holds that for purposes of the Indiana Gust Statute as to injuries inflicted when a passenger has exited the vehicle and is standing outside of it and directing the driver’s attempt to park, that passenger is not “in or upon” the vehicle and thus is not precluded from brining a negligence action against the driver. Remands for further proceedings. Justices Sullivan and Massa dissent.
