Question presented

FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI The Longshore and Harbor Worker’s Compensation Act (LHWCA) If the First Circuit had jurisdiction to review Petitioners’ wage-loss claims, did its finding that a US Labor Director could oppose their claims to protect a privately-financed Fund, violate Congress’s intention for Directors to exercise only administrative support functions in cases under the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act?
