Signode Industrial Group LLC, et al. v. Harold Stone, et al.

Whether the Seventh Circuit erred by holding, in conflict with decisions reached by at least two other federal courts of appeals and in spite of this Court’s holdings in M & G Polymers USA, LLC v. Tackett, 135 S. Ct. 926 (2015) and CNH Industrial N.V. v. Reese, 138 S. Ct. 761 (2018) (per curiam) that collective bargaining agreements must be interpreted according to generally applicable principles of contract law, that a collective bargaining agreement with an “express statement[] extending benefits beyond the term of agreement” irrefutably confers vested, lifetime benefits, even if the agreement separately reserves for the employer the right to terminate the agreement in its entirety.
