Description
This study was prepared as the thesis required for the Master of
Business Administration Degree. Very little has been written on the
subject of delinquencies in the reporting of negotiated fringe benefit
contributions. Methods employed in the research include: interviews,
direct observation, questionnaires and research of records. Records
of fringe benefit trusts of three inter-related crafts of the plastering
industry (lathing, plastering and plaster tending) in Los Angeles
and Orange Counties, California, were examined. Comparative analyses
of union membership, employment statistics, hours reported for fringe
benefit trusts and actuarial assumptions were made. Arbitration and
judicial decisions were cited. After extensive analysis it was determined
that leakages of fringe benefit contributions have occurred in
significant amounts.
