471 U.S. 202 (1985)

105 S.Ct. 1904

85 L.Ed.2d 206

ALLIS-CHALMERS CORP. v. LUECK

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided April 16, 1985

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Theophil C. Kammholz argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs were Richard H. Schnadig and Stanley R. Strauss.

Gerald S. Boisits, by appointment of the Court, 469 U.S. 978, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were Kurt A. Frank and James E. Kenny.*

JUSTICE BLACKMUN delivered the opinion of the Court.

The Wisconsin courts have made the bad-faith handling of an insurance claim a tort under state law. Those courts have gone further and have applied this tort to the handling of a claim under a disability plan included in a collective-bargaining agreement. The question before us is whether, in the latter case, the state tort claim is pre-empted by the national labor laws.
