- Title
LABOR -- WAIVER OF GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE AS ARBITRABLE ISSUE.
- Abstract
This article presents information on a court decision in the case AFL-CIO v. Greyhound Lines Inc., in Massachusetts. Issue as to whether particular employees had waived their rights to arbitrate their discharge claims was held to be arbitrable under collective bargaining agreement providing for arbitration of all discharge cases, although employees executed form exercising their option to withdraw contributions from retirement fund and waiving their right to contest termination of employment under any grievance procedure. In ordering the arbitration, the court found that the normal interpretation of the form in question was that if an employee validly executed it, the employer had a substantive defense to the employee's claim, not an objection to the arbitrator's jurisdiction.
