The following excerpt is from Turner v. Local Union No. 302, Intern. Broth. of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, 604 F.2d 1219 (9th Cir. 1979):
The courts have recognized a distinction for the purpose of 302 jurisdiction between "structural deficiencies," which establish jurisdiction, and "fiduciary administration deficiencies," which fail to establish jurisdiction over 302 trusts. 12 This court has held that "jurisdiction is limited to so-called 'structural' deficiencies and does not extend to day-to-day fiduciary administration of welfare and pension funds". Wilson v. Board of Trustees, 564 F.2d 1299, 1300 (9 Cir. 1978).
