1Opinion of the Court
GOODWIN, Circuit Judge:
Thomas Tellez appeals a summary judgment in favor of his employer, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Inc. (PG & E). The district court held that Tellez’s claims alleging violations of California tort law were preempted by Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 185(a), or, in the alternative, lacked merit.
