New opinion — Third Circuit remands for labor arbitration

Employer Trustees of Western PA Teamsters v. Union Trustees of Western PA Teamsters — labor — reversal — Vanaskie

When labor negotiations deadlocked over employee benefits, one side sought appointment of an arbitrator to break the stalemate. The district court denied the request, but today the Third Circuit reversed, holding that the disputes fell within the parties’ agreement to arbitrate.

Joining Vanaskie were Ambro and Scirica. Arguing counsel were Robert Prorok of Cohen & Grigsby for  the appellants and  Joseph Pass of Jubelirer Pass for the appellees.
