MANION, Circuit Judge.
Loewen Group International, Inc. (“Loewen”) appeals an order of the district court granting summary judgment in favor of its former employee, William J. Haberichter (“Haberichter”). Loewen sued Haberichter in federal court for breach of his employment agreement (Count I), breach of a covenant not to compete (Count II), breach of fiduciary duty (Count III), and injunctive relief (Count IV). The district court held that Loewen’s suit was preempted by section 301 of the Labor Management Relation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 185 (“LMRA”). We reverse.
