1Opinion of the Court
BYE, Circuit Judge.
This is an action brought pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1145 1 to collect fringe benefits allegedly owed to union employee benefit funds by a plumbing company. The district court determined Frank O’Laughlin Plumbing & Heating Company (O’Laughlin) unequivocally terminated its participation in a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with Plumbers and Pipe Fitters Local 6 (the Union), and thus was not required to contribute fringe benefits for work performed by O’Laughlin’s employees.
