AG Sources

The Union filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration in United States District Court pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 185.   Newmont filed a Motion for Summary Judgment.   The district court treated the motions as cross-motions for summary judgment.   The court found it undisputed that the following occurred before expiration:  (1) Taylor’s alleged falsification of the form;  (2) Newmont’s initial questioning of Taylor’s conduct;  (3) Newmont’s preliminary discovery of Taylor’s alleged conduct;  and (4) an investigation regarding the tool request. It found that the following occurred after expiration of the CBA:  (1) the dispute over the tool request;  (2) additional investigation of the falsification claim;  (3) Taylor’s suspension and discharge;  and (4) the filing of the Union’s grievance.   The court concluded that the key or critical facts and occurrences took place before the expiration of the CBA, and that the dispute therefore arose under the contract and was subject to its arbitration clause.   The court granted the Union’s Motion to Compel Arbitration and denied Newmont’s Motion for Summary Judgment.   This appeal followed. -Operating Engineers Local Union NO. 3 v.
