Help - the Plumbers Union has audited PC 2005 and determined that PC owes $60,000 in fringe and retirement benefits to the union.
2005 was during the boom and PC was sent men from the union that were not PIPE certified, a breach of the union agreement. PC was told to use these "unqualified" men for a few weeks, keep if they were good and fire if they were not, and not worry about paying the benefits. PC states the union rep admits to saying this but also states that he will deny saying this on the record. The union board says whether the men were "qualified" or not is irrelevant. PC has been litigating this matter for 1 - 2 years now.
PC has also experienced dramatic decrease in income, the competition for commercial union jobs is fierce and low ball bidder is taking all. PC has lost home to foreclosure and is liquidating assets.
Union's case is against PC's business (Inc); PC Spouse (bookkeeper) and PC Debtor (Plumber/Owner).
The entire stipulated judgment (which isn't signed yet) is around 90,000 with attorney fees and liquidated damages.
Question:
1. These type of fringe benefits - non dischargeable?
2. can the attorney fees & damages go away if the fringe benefits are non dischargeable?
3. The stip specifically states no fraud - so no dischargeablity based on fraud problems
4. If this is reduced to judgment does it change the character from non dischargeable to dischargeable judgment?
Thanks for your help in advance. See you Saturday. Catherine
