1Opinion of the Court
RALPH B. GUY, Jr., Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs, employees of Associated Truck Lines, Inc. (ATL), appeal the district court’s denial of their motion to amend their complaint to include state common law claims for negligent and intentional misrepresentations. The court refused the amendment based upon a finding that the state law claims would be preempted by § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 185. Since we agree that the claims are prempted by § 301, we find that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to amend and we affirm.
