Description
The plaintiff, Donald L. Black, sued Ryder/P.I.E. Nationwide, Inc. and Teamsters Local No. 519 in 1985, alleging a hybrid section 301*fn1 claim.*fn2 The district court originally dismissed this claim, following a nonjury trial, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). This court reversed and remanded for a jury trial, Black v. Ryder/P.I.E. Nationwide, Inc., 930 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991), and in February 1992, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarding compensatory damages, emotional distress damages, and attorney fees against Local 519.*fn3 The district court, however, vacated the emotional distress part of the damage award, on the grounds that the award was duplicative of damages already received by the plaintiff in a separate action under 29 U.S.C. § 411(a)(2). Black appeals from that order, arguing that the district court's Conclusion that the damages were duplicative is clearly erroneous. For the reasons discussed below, we agree, and therefore reverse the district court's order.
