The pertinent cases in this circuit, while recognizing that courts in other circuits have reached a different conclusion regarding preemption, are contrary to defendant’s position. See A. Terzi Productions, Inc. v. Theatrical Protective Union, 2 F.Supp.2d 485, 502-03 (S.D.N.Y.1998) (Sotomayor, J.) (surveying the case law and holding that “courts in this Circuit have consistently rejected the notion that Garmon preemption [which provides for deference to the exclusive competence of the NLRB when a proscribed activity is also arguably subject to § 7 or § 8 of the NLRA] applies to federal claims, including RICO claims”); Gregory v. American Guild of Musical Artists, 1993 WL 179110, at *5 (S.D.N.Y.1993) (<HOLDING>). In light of this court’s conclusions as to
holding that state law fraud claims are preempted by the federal labor law duty of fair representation holding that the nlra preempts a rico claim when the underlying conduct of the plaintiffs rico claim is wrongful only by virtue of the labor laws  holding that if the underlying conduct is wrongful only by virtue of the labor laws then the rico claim is preempted holding that state law claim regarding breach of settlement agreement was preempted by federal labor law holding that a rico claim based upon violation of the duty of fair repre sentation is not preempted by federal labor law
