Description
Plaintiffs, 40 salaried employees of the Ortner Freight Car Facility in Mount Orab, Ohio, appeal the district court's grant of summary judgment on their claim against Avondale Industries, Inc.,*fn1 the former owner of the Ortner facility. The claim arose from Avondale's sale of Ortner to a third party, Trinity Industries, Inc., and Avondale's subsequent refusal to pay either accrued vacation pay or severance benefits to the employees who remained at the facility. Finding that before the sale Avondale had amended its severance plan to deprive the plaintiffs of benefits, we affirm the district court's refusal to award severance benefits. Because we and that the defendant's obligation to pay vacation Pad had vested before the sale and has not been subsequently discharged, however, we reverse on the second claim of error.
