KELLEY v. CONCO COMPANIES PATRICK C. KELLEY, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. THE CONCO COMPANIES et al. , Defendants and Respondents. CERTIFIED FOR PUBLICATION BRUINIERS, J. Patrick Kelley was an apprentice ironworker employed by respondent The Conco Companies (Conco). To get work, Kelley would contact companies such as Conco directly and, once hired, he would inform the union and obtain a dispatch slip. Rather, Conco discharged Kelley because he had been suspended by the union and Kelley has not produced evidence that would support an inference that Conco contributed to the union's decision to suspend Kelley. Kelley testified that a coworker had expressed concern to Kelley about the incident and Kelley saw that coworker talk to Gallegos before Gallegos spoke to Kelley.
