This case arises from a dispute over a Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”) between Plaintiff Jones Lang Lasalle Americas Inc. and Defendant International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union No. 313. Plaintiff has sought a declaratory judgment determining that the dispute is not subject to arbitration. This case originally came before Judge Sue L. Robinson in the District of Delaware. The Union moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint for Declaratory Relief, contending that the CBA incorporates by reference the procedural rules of the American Arbitration Association (“the AAA”), and thus commits the question of arbitrability to an arbitrator rather than a judge. On July 11, 2017, Judge Robinson denied Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. v. Int’l Bhd. of Elec. Workers, Local 313, 16-cv-190-SLR (D. Del. July 11, 2017), ECF No. 18, and the case was assigned to me following Judge Robinson’s retirement. The Union subsequently filed a timely Motion for Reconsideration under Rule 59 -Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. v. Int’l Bhd. of Elec. Workers, Local 313 (2017)
