8. Insulation subcontractors which are signatory to collective bargaining agreements with the Carpenters Unions are third party beneficiaries of the subcontracting provision of the collective bargaining agreements between signatory general contractors and the Carpenters Unions.

11. The labor laws allow the Carpenters Unions to enforce the subcontracting provision of the Master Labor Agreement by providing signatory general contractors with notice of violations of the subcontracting provision, and by filing grievances and/or lawsuits to enforce the subcontracting provision.

12. The individual defendants who are officers or members of the Carpenters Unions are exempt from the anti-trust laws. Atkinson v. Sinclair Refining Company, 370 U.S. 238, 82 S.Ct. 1318, 8 L.Ed.2d 462 (1962).
