   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2521
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Labor law. In an action to collect fringe benefits allegedly owed to union employee benefit funds, the district court erred in finding the employer had unequivocally terminated its participation in a collective bargaining agreement with the funds and was not obligated to contribute fringe benefits for its employees; the employer's continued contributions manifested an intent to abide by and be bound by the CBA and the two letters the employer sent were ineffective to express an unequivocal intent to terminate because they failed to provide clear and explicit notice of intent to terminate; remanded for further proceedings as to the amounts owed.
