Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Arbitration
Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant-union’s motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff-employer’s action under section 301 of Labor Management Relations Act, alleging that union’s two strikes violated non-strike provisions of collective bargaining agreement (CBA). While CBA had arbitration clause, said clause applied only to employee-initiated grievances. As such, plaintiff was not obligated to submit instant dispute to arbitration.
