- Title
FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT -- APPLICABILITY TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT -- LMRA 301 ACTION.
- Abstract
The article evaluates the court case "International Assoc. of Machinists and Aerospace Workers v. General Electric Co.," related to applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act in collective bargaining agreement. In this case, the court ruled that commencement of action to compel arbitration by petition under Section 4 of U.S. Arbitration Act instead of by complaint under Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act is valid in that the Arbitration Act has been recognized as applicable to labor cases. The court held that use of summary procedures of Arbitration Act while invoking section 301 did not cause prejudice to defendant other than its inability to delay the arbitration by insisting on the time periods applicable to plenary actions.
