Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge LINN. Dissenting opinion filed by Chief Judge MAYER.
LINN, Circuit Judge.
A group of former employees of Sonoco Products Company (“Sonoco”) appeals from the dismissal of its untimely-filed claim by the United States Court of International Trade. Former Employees of Sonoco Prods. Co. v. United States Sec’y of Labor, 273 F.Supp.2d 1336 (CIT 2003). Because the Court of International Trade did not err in determining that the appellants were neither diligent nor misled by government agents and, thus, were not eligible for equitable tolling, we affirm.
