Division 1235, Amalgamated Transit Union v. Metropolitan Transit Authority

MERRITT, Circuit Judge,

dissenting.

I disagree that § 13(c) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 1609(c) (1976), creates a private federal right of action for breach of contract by transit employees against municipal transit authorities receiving federal funds. I have set out the reasons for my disagreement in 650 F.2d 1379, Local Division 1285, Amalgamated Transit Union, AFL/CIO/CLC v. Jackson Transit Authority and the City of Jackson, et al., a companion case.
