1Opinion of the Court
SCHROEDER, Circuit Judge.
This is an action by trustees of four employee fringe benefit trust funds to recover contributions from Benal Concrete Construction Company for work performed by trenchers on Benal jobs. The district court granted summary judgment for Benal, holding that the trenchers were independent contractors and that section 302 of the Labor Management Relations Act (LMRA) prohibits payments to trust funds on behalf of such individuals. 1 We affirm. We also affirm the district court’s denial of costs and attorneys’ fees to Benal which Benal challenges on cross-appeal.
